How to close MongoDB connection in Python?-CodePudding

Consider a python script like below which has many if else conditions and many try except blocks. I want to close the MongoDB connection after the MongoDB operations. Is the below mentioned way a proper way to close the connection?

def temp_fun():
    try:
        client = MongoClient(DB_NAME)  # from PyMongo
        if some_condition:
            # code 
            if client:
                client.close()
            return True
        elif some_condition:
            # code
            if client:
                client.close()
            return True
        else some_condition:
            # code
            if client:
                client.close()
            return True
    except:
        if client:
            client.close()
        return None

You could try finally, as it's always executed regardless of the possible exceptions generated in code.

You don't need to close pymongo connections, python and pymongo handles all the clean-up for you.
