Open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server and tools that power FriendFeed
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 2.2.1:
- tornado.web.RequestHandler.set_header now properly sanitizes
input values to protect against header injection, response
splitting, etc. (it has always attempted to do this, but the
check was incorrect). Note that redirects, the most likely
source of such bugs, are protected by a separate check in
RequestHandler.redirect.
- Colored logging configuration in tornado.options is compatible
with Python 3.2.3 (and 3.3).
