Neo4j Desktop and Neo4j Database

Drivers & Stacks Python
1

Hi, I am pretty new to Neo4j, but I am very excited to the technology and I want to use it as my persistence plataforma for my new start up product that I am going to develop with Python and Django in the back-end, and React in the front-end.

I have installed Neo4j Desktop and have been using it to learn the concepts and to get fluent on cypher. Now I want to connect it to Django, but I am getting some issues: I just can't get a connection from Django to the Database.

I have configured my settings.py with config.DATABASE_URL = 'bolt://hugolvc:Steppen1@localhost:7687' and I have installed neomodel and ne04j-driver, but I get a "ServiceUnavailable" error.

Can I use Neo4j Desktop Database from Python?

To answer the question - yes you can use python to connect to a local database running in Neo4j Desktop.

Can you paste the full error that you're seeing? Also please past anything that looks relevant from neo4j.log and debug.log within neo4j Desktop.

David, thanks for answering. I just found what the problem is, It's an exclamation character in the password. I just changed the password and I got able to connect from python. I don't know where the problem arises from because I can connect from Neo4j desktop with the exclamation character in the password, but not from python.
