This is an extension of django-tastypie (https://github.com/toastdriven/django-tastypie/) to support django-nonrel (http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/django-nonrel) the fork of django with nonrelational backends, and MongoDB in particular. It should proof useful when Django 1.4 incorporates non-relational backends. Still under development.
In order to run the tests, you should:
Get mongod running in your localhost.
Download the latest version from here:

Instructions to install it in mac os x can be found here:

I would recommend using virtualenvwrapper: http://www.doughellmann.com/projects/virtualenvwrapper/
# Create a new environment, like so if you set up virtualenvwrapper
mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages django-tastypie-nonrel
# Or create one right here and get in it
virtualenv --no-site-packages django_tastypie_nonrel-env source django_tastypie_nonrel-env/bin/activate
# Install reqs
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Run tests
python manage.py test eg

ListFields of EmbeddedFields use ToManyField and work for read, and almost for write
