A deprecated async Python driver for MongoDB, built for asyncio and Tornado applications.
What is Motor?
Motor is an asynchronous Python driver for MongoDB that provides non-blocking database access for asyncio and Tornado applications. It presents a coroutine-based API that allows developers to perform MongoDB operations without blocking the event loop. The project is now deprecated in favor of the official PyMongo Async API, with migration recommended.
Python developers building high-performance, scalable applications using asyncio or Tornado frameworks who need asynchronous MongoDB database access.
Motor was the go-to solution for async MongoDB operations in Python before the official PyMongo Async API, offering full MongoDB feature support with high throughput capabilities and seamless integration with popular async frameworks.
