Motor (Async Driver)¶
Introduction¶
Motor (Python async) is the recommended asynchronous Python driver for MongoDB. It is compatible with Tornado and asyncio.
Installation¶
We recommend using pip to install Motor on all platforms:
pip install motor
Connect to MongoDB Atlas¶
To connect to a MongoDB Atlas cluster, use the Atlas connection string for your cluster:
import motor client = motor.motor_tornado.MotorClient( "mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<cluster-url>/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority") db = client.test
