How to use MongoDB with Django Framework and Python3

Question

I am a newbie to python,django, and mongoDB world. I've setup Django project (Virtualenv, Python3, Django==1.10.1 MongoDB) and installed some basic package requirements:

Django==1.10.1
django-mongodb-engine==0.6.0
djangotoolbox==1.8.0
mongoengine==0.9.0
pymongo==3.3.0

but when I tried to syncdb using python3 manage.py syncdb, then it's showing

~/virtenv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django_mongodb_engine/base.py", line 272
    raise ImproperlyConfigured, exc_info[1], exc_info[2]
                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

From the docs django-mongodb-engine

DATABASES = {
   'default' : {
      'ENGINE' : 'django_mongodb_engine',
      'NAME' : 'my_database'
   }
}
