The misunderstanding here is a result of misnomer.

The following creates a connection.

connection = MongoClient(connString)

To get a pymongo.database object you can readily make one on the fly by accessing an inexistent field on the connection instance or one for a database that already exists.

db = connection.roundhouse # where roundhouse is the name for my database
