Tornado Python Framework: Quick Start Guide

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library that can be used to create high-performance web applications. Here is a simple example of using the Tornado framework:

1. To begin with, install the Tornado framework: you can install Tornado using pip with the following command:

pip install tornado

1. Create a basic Tornado application.

import tornado.ioloop
import tornado.web

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.write("Hello, World")

def make_app():
    return tornado.web.Application([
        (r"/", MainHandler),
    ])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = make_app()
    app.listen(8888)
    tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()

1. Run the application: Save the code above in a Python file, then run the file in the command line.

python your_file.py

1. Access the application: By visiting http://localhost:8888/ in your browser, you will see the page display “Hello, World”.

This is just a simple example, the Tornado framework has many features and configuration options that can be customized and expanded based on your needs. For more detailed documentation and examples, you can visit the official Tornado documentation: https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/
