Open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server and tools that power FriendFeed

Edit Package python-tornado
http://www.tornadoweb.org

Tornado is an open 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 framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks (and certainly most Python frameworks) because it is non-blocking and reasonably fast. 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. We built the web server specifically to handle FriendFeed's real-time features — every active user of FriendFeed maintains an open connection to the FriendFeed servers. (For more information on scaling servers to support thousands of clients, see The C10K problem.)

- Update to version 4.5.3
  + tornado.curl_httpclient
    * Improved debug logging on Python 3.
  + tornado.httpserver
    * ``Content-Length`` and ``Transfer-Encoding`` headers are no longer
      sent with 1xx or 204 responses (this was already true of 304
      responses).
    * Reading chunked requests no longer leaves the connection in a broken
      state.
  + tornado.iostream
    * Writing a `memoryview` can no longer result in "BufferError:
      Existing exports of data: object cannot be re-sized".
  + tornado.options
    * Duplicate option names are now detected properly whether they use
      hyphens or underscores.
  + tornado.testing
    * `.AsyncHTTPTestCase.fetch` now uses ``127.0.0.1`` instead of
      ``localhost``, improving compatibility with systems that have
      partially-working ipv6 stacks.
  + tornado.web
    * It is no longer allowed to send a body with 1xx or 204 responses.
  + tornado.websocket
    * Requests with invalid websocket headers now get a response with
      status code 400 instead of a closed connection.
