CherryPy VS Tornado

I am not expert in these but I thought Tornado's ioloop was readable enough for me to learn more event loops. Mostly, it was being implemented in pure Python.

(Had to be in 4.5 because the newer versions 5.x and 6.x, it's switched to Python's stdlib asyncio)

I am a bit confused, Tornado is web server like a apache http server, or a framework like django, or both?

For Python, I use Tornado.

tornado? this https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado ?

I'm writing a Node app that talks to a server that uses Tornado, a Python networking framework. The server uses WebSocket and structured JSON to expose RPCs, like sign_on called with the following message:

I've been using Python's Tornado (http://www.tornadoweb.org/) for years now.

Now on version 6, it's fast, well maintained, mature, and has good docs with readable code.

@bdarnell has done an excellent job maintaining it.

Here's one example:

Tornado supported async style co-routines before asyncio was a thing. Now it uses asyncio under the hood by default -- and it did so with an exceptionally smooth transition.

Tornado is another micro framework aimed at a specific use case: asynchronous networking applications. Tornado is well-suited for creating services that open a great many network connections and keep them alive that is, anything involving WebSockets or long polling. Moreover, It requires Python 3.5 or higher and drops Python 2 support entirely.

Here's an official demo chat app using websocket: https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado/tree/master/demos/websocket, though you should read the docs on websocket for understanding the code.
