In one of my projects for the user profile model was used ForeignKey field.
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
This leads to a lot of unnecessary queries when you want to access to related data, like:
{% raw %}
{% for item in items %}
{{ item.user.get_profile.company }}
{% endfor %}
{% endraw %}
A month ago I began to participate in StackOverflow process. So I was interested to collect some statistics data and find where am I in this game. StackOverflow has a good API with limits for 300 requests/days for anonymous user and 10 000 requests/day for authorized. I created a simple bot on python, collected data to MongoDb and built these charts. With 10 000 requests and page size 100 I got users from highest reputation (524k) to 269. So I built these charts starting from reputation of 300.
The number of users with reputation > 300 is 96 654. And total number of users is about 1 375 000. So the percent of active users is about 7%.

Beetween Mongoengine and MongoKit, I like more Mongoengine. There are several comparative articles:
So I created a simple CRUD app using Mongoengine.
