Azure build modifies host in mongo_client.py to localhost

Question

I have written a django application with mongodb as backend, created models and used DJONGO to setup the ORM, below is my settings.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'djongo',
        'NAME': 'conversations',
        'HOST':'mongodb+srv://userName:password@clusterx-abcde.mongodb.net/dbName?retryWrites=true&w=majority',
        'USER':'userName',
        'PASSWORD':'password'
    }
}

I had to end up modifying host from localhost to 'mongodb+srv://userName:password@clusterx-abcde.mongodb.net/dbName?retryWrites=true&w=majority' in mongo_clients.py(pymongo package).

Django cant connect to mongoDB atlas https://github.com/nesdis/djongo/issues/132

Above are the links I referred to, to change host on mongo_clients.py

This application works fine on my local machine, once I host it on azure, during the build azure is modifying the mongo_clients.py and changing the host to localhost making my application not work as expected.

class MongoClient(common.BaseObject):
    """
    A client-side representation of a MongoDB cluster.

    Instances can represent either a standalone MongoDB server, a replica
    set, or a sharded cluster. Instances of this class are responsible for
    maintaining up-to-date state of the cluster, and possibly cache
    resources related to this, including background threads for monitoring,
    and connection pools.
    """
    HOST = 'mongodb+srv://userName:password@clusterx-abcde.mongodb.net/dbName?retryWrites=true&w=majority'
    PORT = 27017
    # Define order to retrieve options from ClientOptions for __repr__.
    # No host/port; these are retrieved from TopologySettings.
    _constructor_args = ('document_class', 'tz_aware', 'connect')

Is there anyway to have azure ignore these changes I made on mongo_client.py, it's part of pymongo package

Hacking the library code is not the answer. Azure isn't modifying anything, it is just pulling down the latest library which is entirely standard for any build process. — Belly Buster, Jun 22 '20 at 08:33
Yes, but how do fix this ? is this a dead-end ? there should be someway right ? — user2643191, Jun 22 '20 at 16:36
Have you tried `pip install dnspython` as suggested in the links? — Belly Buster, Jun 22 '20 at 17:01
