I'm totally new to Python and Django - just getting started with both. I wanted to see how I could work with MongoDB, while using Django framework. I came across this site: https://django-mongodb-engine.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ - seems like a reasonable way of doing non-rel I'd like to ask experienced Django developers: is using Django MongoDB Engine considered "mainstream" for connecting Django apps to a non-relational backend, or is there a different, more widely used / better supported alternative?

When it comes to more widely and used I personally do not think so.
There is Flask, but Django really does everything it does plus a little bit more.
What is the problem with mainstream if it is proven to work?
I would strongly recommend using Django, specially if you interact a lot with databases. It's migration system is the best out there.
If your project is rather small and does not need all those nice features I would recomend Flask instead.
