Installation

$ pip install motor

Dependencies

Motor works in all the environments officially supported by Tornado. It requires:

• Unix, including Mac OS X. Microsoft Windows is not officially supported.

• PyMongo

• Tornado

• Greenlet

• CPython 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, or 3.3

• Although Motor works with PyPy 1.9, limitations with greenlets and PyPy’s JIT compiler make PyPy applications that use Motor too slow to use. We eagerly await improvements in PyPy 2.0.

Additional dependencies are:

• (to generate documentation) sphinx

• (to auto-discover tests) nose

Documentation

You will need sphinx installed to generate the documentation. Documentation can be generated by running python setup.py doc. Generated documentation can be found in doc/build/html/. You can read the current docs at ReadTheDocs.

Examples

See the examples on ReadTheDocs or Chirp, a dumb Twitter clone.

Testing

The easiest way to run the tests is to install nose and run nosetests or python setup.py test in the root of the distribution. Tests are located in the test/ directory.
