Answer 1

I always used this way to get all collection names from my MongoDB database.

import pymongo
db_connect = pymongo.MongoClient('192.168.4.202', 20020)
database_name = 'MY_DATABASE_NAME'
database = db_connect[database_name]
collection = database.collection_names(include_system_collections=False)
for collect in collection:
    print collect
