Unable to connect to mongodb atlas cluster using Flask mongoalchemy

Question

I have used the below stackoverflow question link to try to connect to MongoDb atlas cluster using Flask MongoAlchemy but this does not seem to be working. Below is my code:>

from flask import Flask
from flask_mongoalchemy import MongoAlchemy

app = Flask(__name__)
DB_URI = 'mongodb+srv://subhayan:<password>@mflix-jprgs.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority'
app.config['MONGOALCHEMY_DATABASE'] = 'test'
app.config["MONGODB_HOST"] = DB_URI


db = MongoAlchemy(app)

class Person(db.document):
    first_name = db.StringField()
    last_name = db.StringField()
    age = db.IntField()

I have correctly replaced the with the actual password . I tried importing this Python file from the REPL but i get the below error:

(python-mongo) ~/Desktop/Studies/Codes/python-mongo:$ python

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Can someone please help me understand what the issue is. I am also not finding proper documentation for this.

It possible that your password has an escape character

try it this way

import urllib.parse

username = urllib.parse.quote_plus("UserName")
password = urllib.parse.quote_plus("Password")

client = MongoClient('mongodb+srv://%s:%s@mflix-jprgs.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority' % (username, password))
