What is Tornado Web Server?

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed. Community supporters state that by using non-blocking network I/O, Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections, making it ideal for long polling, WebSockets, and other applications that require a long-lived connection to each user.
