Tornado is listed in PyPI and can be installed with pip or
|
|
|
|
|
easy_install. Note that the source distribution includes demo
|
|
|
|
|
applications that are not present when Tornado is installed in this
|
|
|
|
|
way, so you may wish to download a copy of the source tarball as well.

The Tornado source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/facebook/tornado
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Python 2.6 and 2.7, it is also possible to simply add the tornado
|
|
|
|
|
directory to your PYTHONPATH instead of building with setup.py, since
|
|
|
|
|
the standard library includes epoll support.

Tornado runs on Python 2.6+ and 3.2+. Both CPython and PyPy are supported.
|

|
|
There are no required dependencies outside the Python standard library,
|
|
|
|
|
although unittest2 is required to run Tornado's unittest suite on
|
|
|
|
|
Python 2.6.

|
|
|
* tornado.curl_httpclient needs PycURL (version 7.18.2 or higher required;
|
|
|
|
|
version 7.21.1 or higher recommended)
|
|
|
|
|
* Multithreading support requires the concurrent.futures module,
|
|
|
|
|
which is in the standard library for Python 3.2+ and available
|
|
|
|
|
at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/futures for older versions.
