### What it is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Moxy" is a Django database backend for MySQL. Built on top of MySQLdb [0]
|
|
|
|
|
and Eventlet [1], it uses eventlet.db_pool to provide a greenthread-safe
|
|
|
|
|
means of accessing MySQL via MySQLdb's blocking calls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why Moxy?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another member of the `#eventlet` channel on Freenode was soliciting for names
|
|
|
|
|
of a reverse proxying HTTP server he wrote built off of Eventlet. I suggested
|
|
|
|
|
the name "Moxy" which was well received until everybody started listing examples
|
|
|
|
|
of other projects named "Moxy".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since then it's become a kind of lame inside joke to suggest "Moxy" as the name for
|
|
|
|
|
any new project.
