motor 3.1.1

About

Motor presents a coroutine-based API for non-blocking access to MongoDB. The source is on GitHub and the docs are on ReadTheDocs.

“We use Motor in high throughput environments, processing tens of thousands of requests per second. It allows us to take full advantage of modern hardware, ensuring we utilise the entire capacity of our purchased CPUs. This helps us be more efficient with computing power, compute spend and minimises the environmental impact of our infrastructure as a result.”

—David Mytton, Server Density

“We develop easy-to-use sensors and sensor systems with open source software to ensure every innovator, from school child to laboratory researcher, has the same opportunity to create. We integrate Motor into our software to guarantee massively scalable sensor systems for everyone.”

—Ryan Smith, inXus Interactive

Installation

Motor can be installed with pip:

$ pip install motor

Dependencies

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

• Unix (including macOS) or Windows.

• PyMongo >=4.1,<5

• Python 3.7+

Optional dependencies:

Motor supports same optional dependencies as PyMongo. Required dependencies can be installed along with Motor.

GSSAPI authentication requires gssapi extra dependency. The correct dependency can be installed automatically along with Motor:

$ pip install "motor[gssapi]"

similarly,

MONGODB-AWS authentication requires aws extra dependency:

$ pip install "motor[aws]"

Support for mongodb+srv:// URIs requires srv extra dependency:

$ pip install "motor[srv]"

OCSP requires ocsp extra dependency:

$ pip install "motor[ocsp]"

Wire protocol compression with snappy requires snappy extra dependency:

$ pip install "motor[snappy]"

Wire protocol compression with zstandard requires zstd extra dependency:

$ pip install "motor[zstd]"

Client-Side Field Level Encryption requires encryption extra dependency:

$ pip install "motor[encryption]"

You can install all dependencies automatically with the following command:

$ pip install "motor[gssapi,aws,ocsp,snappy,srv,zstd,encryption]"

See requirements for details about compatibility.

Examples

See the examples on ReadTheDocs.

Documentation
