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 4.1:
* If a `.Future` contains an exception but that exception is never
examined or re-raised (e.g. by yielding the `.Future`), a stack
trace will be logged when the `.Future` is garbage-collected.
* New class `tornado.gen.WaitIterator` provides a way to iterate
over ``Futures`` in the order they resolve.
* The `tornado.websocket` module now supports compression via the
"permessage-deflate" extension. Override
`.WebSocketHandler.get_compression_options` to enable on the server
side, and use the ``compression_options`` keyword argument to
`.websocket_connect` on the client side.
* When the appropriate packages are installed, it is possible to yield
`asyncio.Future` or Twisted ``Defered`` objects in Tornado coroutines.
