**Prerequisites**: Tornado 5.x runs on Python 2.7, and 3.4+ (Tornado
6.0 will require Python 3.5+; Python 2 will no longer be supported).
The updates to the `ssl` module in Python 2.7.9 are required (in some
distributions, these updates may be available in older python
versions). In addition to the requirements which will be installed
automatically by ``pip`` or ``setup.py install``, the following
optional packages may be useful:
**Prerequisites**: Tornado 6.0 requires Python 3.5.2 or newer (See
`Tornado 5.1 <https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/branch5.1/>`_ if
compatibility with Python 2.7 is required). The following optional
packages may be useful:

monotonic clock, which improves reliability in environments where
clock adjustments are frequent. No longer needed in Python 3.
**Platforms**: Tornado should run on any Unix-like platform, although
for the best performance and scalability only Linux (with ``epoll``)
