Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server. The framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks (and certainly most Python frameworks) because it is non-blocking and reasonably fast.
Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, nonblocking web server. The framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks (and certainly most Python frameworks) because it is nonblocking and reasonably fast. Because it is nonblocking and uses epoll, it can handle thousands of simultaneous standing connections, which means it is ideal for realtime web services.
