Motor is a full-featured, non-blocking MongoDB driver for Python asyncio and Tornado applications, exposing a coroutine-based API. It is deprecated in favor of the PyMongo Async API, with only bug fixes until end of life.
Use cases
- use mongodb from asyncio python code
- non-blocking database access in tornado apps
- async mongodb driver for python
- query mongodb without blocking the event loop
- migrate motor code to pymongo async api
When to choose
- maintaining an existing asyncio or Tornado app already using Motor
- you need a battle-tested async MongoDB driver on older Python stacks
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the PyMongo Async API instead
- you need new driver features or long-term support beyond 2027
