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
