Tornado Description

Oopen source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server and tools that power FriendFeed The FriendFeed application is written using a web framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the underlying non-blocking infrastructure.The Tornado framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks (and certainly most Python frameworks) because it is reasonably fast and non-blocking.Because it is non-blocking and uses epoll, it can handle thousands of simultaneous standing connections, which means it is ideal for real-time web services. Requirements: · Python 2.5 or later · PycURL · simplejson
