Non-blocking MongoDB driver for Tornado
Project description
- Info:
Motor is a full-featured, non-blocking MongoDB driver for Python Tornado applications.
- Author:
A. Jesse Jiryu Davis
About
Motor presents a Tornado_callback- or Future-based API for non-blocking access to MongoDB. The source is on GitHub and the docs are on ReadTheDocs.
“Motor uses a clever greenlet-based approach to fully support both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces from a single codebase. It’s great to see companies like MongoDB produce first-party asynchronous drivers for their products.”
—Ben Darnell, Tornado maintainer
Installation
$ pip install motor
Dependencies
Motor works in all the environments officially supported by Tornado. It requires:
Unix, including Mac OS X. Windows is not supported.
Python 2.6 or later.
backports.pbkdf2 for faster authentication with MongoDB 3.0+, especially on Python older than 2.7.8, or on Python 3 before Python 3.4.
See “Requirements” for details about compatibility.
