motor 0.5b0

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.

• PyMongo

• Tornado

• Greenlet

• 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.
