Tornado is a scalable, non-blocking web server and web application framework written in Python.[2] It was developed for use by FriendFeed; the company was acquired by Facebook in 2009 and Tornado was open-sourced soon after.[3]
Performance[edit]
Tornado is noted for its high performance. Its design enables handling a large number of concurrent connections (i.e., tries to solve the "C10k problem").
Modules[edit]
- An asynchronous MongoDB driver called Motor.
- CouchDB drivers called corduroy and trombi.
- Asynchronous driver for PostgreSQL wrapping psycopg called Momoko
Example[edit]
The following code shows a simple web application that displays "Hello World!" when visited:[4]
import asyncio import tornado.web class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler): def get(self): self.write("Hello, world") def make_app(): return tornado.web.Application([(r"/", MainHandler),]) async def main(): app = make_app() app.listen(8888) await asyncio.Event().wait() if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main())
