class MongoClient(pymongo.common.BaseObject)
Connection to MongoDB.
Method resolution order:
MongoClient
pymongo.common.BaseObject
__builtin__.object
class Connection(pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient)
Connection to MongoDB.
Method resolution order:
Connection
pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient
pymongo.common.BaseObject
__builtin__.object
我们先看一下源代码，从这两个类的继承来看，connection是继承了MongoClient的，建议使用MongoClient而不是使用Connection。
（也就是说，MongoClient能够用法Connection都能够使用）
from pymongo import MongoClient client = MongoClient(‘192.168.40.87‘, 27037) db_name = ‘TCL_Useraction‘ db = client[db_name] collection_useraction = db[‘useraction‘]
这里是通过字典的方式訪问数据库和集合，同一时候你也能够通过.（点号）的方式訪问
做实验时。发现Python用Connection()连接时。改动操作速度非常快。而用MongoClient()建立的连接，操作速度慢非常多。
from pymongo import MongoClient,Connection
import time
db = Connection(‘192.168.1.101‘, 27017).performance_test
#client = MongoClient(‘192.168.1.101‘, 27017)
#db = client.performance_test
db.drop_collection("updates")
collection = db.updates
collection.insert({"x": 1})
collection.find_one()
start = time.time()
for i in range(100000):
collection.update({}, {"$push" : {"x" : 1}})

用Connection() 8秒，MongoClient()则花了62秒。这性能相差也太多了。
非常是疑惑，于是查了pymongo的文档，原来两者有个选项的默认行为不同：
class pymongo.connection.Connection([host=‘localhost‘[,port=27017[,max_pool_size=10[,network_timeout=None[, document_class=dict[, tz_aware=False[, **kwargs]]]]]]])
Write Concern options:
safe: Connection disables acknowledgement of write operations. Use safe=True to enable write acknowledgement.
w: (integer or string) If this is a replica set, write operations will block until they have been replicated to the specified number or tagged set of servers. w=<int> always includes the replica set primary (e.g. w=3 means write to the primary and wait until
replicated to two secondaries). Implies safe=True.
wtimeout: (integer) Used in conjunction with w. Specify a value in milliseconds to control how long to wait for write propagation to complete. If replication does not complete in the given timeframe, a timeout exception is raised. Implies safe=True.
j: If True block until write operations have been committed to the journal. Ignored if the server is running without journaling. Implies safe=True.
fsync: If True force the database to fsync all files before returning. When used with j the server awaits the next group commit before returning. Implies safe=True.
safe选项决定操作是“瞬时完毕”与“安全操作”。connection()默认是safe=False,即瞬时完毕，不等server回应，而MongoClient()默认是safe=True。即安全操作，等server确认后才继续下一步操作。
所以一个8秒，一个62秒，这个差距实际上是“瞬时完毕”与“安全操作”两者的性能区别。
当将Connection() 和MongoClient()建立连接时指定同样的safe參数，两者的性能表现是一样的。
client = MongoClient(‘192.168.1.101‘, 27017,safe=False) #db = Connection(‘192.168.1.101‘, 27017,safe=False).performance_test
