About

An asynchronous Python driver for the Mongo database, based on Twisted. The txmongo package is an alternative to the original pymongo shipped with the Mongo database.

Because the original pymongo package has it's own connection pool and blocking low-level socket operations, it is hard to fully implement network servers using the Twisted framework. Instead of deferring database operations to threads, now it's possible to do it asynchronously, as easy as using the original API.

Installation

You need setuptools in order to get txmongo installed. Just run python setup.py install

Examples

There are some examples in the examples/ directory.
