Any issues with, questions about, or feedback for Motor should be sent to the mongodb-user list on Google Groups. For confirmed issues or feature requests, open a case on jira in the "MOTOR" project. Please do not e-mail the author directly with issues or questions - you're more likely to get an answer on the list.
$ pip install motor
Motor works in all the environments officially supported by Tornado. It requires:
- Unix, including Mac OS X. Microsoft Windows is not officially supported.
- PyMongo
- Tornado
- Greenlet
- CPython 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, or 3.3
- Although Motor works with PyPy 1.9, limitations with greenlets and PyPy's JIT compiler make PyPy applications that use Motor too slow to use. We eagerly await improvements in PyPy 2.0.
Additional dependencies are:
You will need sphinx installed to generate the documentation. Documentation can be generated by running python setup.py doc. Generated documentation can be found in doc/build/html/. You can read the current docs at ReadTheDocs.
The easiest way to run the tests is to install nose and run nosetests or python setup.py test in the root of the distribution. Tests are located in the test/ directory.
