Tornalet 1.0

Tornado is great, if you can code asynchronously ...

Greenlet is cool to create asynchronous programs using micro-threads.

What about a mix of the two? We are proud to present Tornalet.

Howto

To install tornalet, you can clone this repository or use PyPI:

easy_install tornalet
pip install tornalet

To enable tornalet, prefix each of your handler's method the decorator @tornalet.tornalet.

Then decorate with tornalet.asyncify each of your blocking function. This will make your function asynchronous.

Example

import tornalet
import tornado.web
import random

URL = "http://chucknorrisfacts.fr/fortunes/fortunes.txt"

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
 @tornalet.tornalet
 def get(self):
 http_client = tornado.httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient()

 # Here's the magic : this line is not synchronous.
 facts = tornalet.asyncify(http_client.fetch)(URL).body.split("%")

 fact = facts[random.randrange(len(facts))]

 self.write("%s" % (fact, ))
