django-moxy
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 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.
