Name        : python-tornado
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 2.2.1
Release     : 7.fc20
URL         : http://www.tornadoweb.org
Summary     : Scalable, non-blocking web server and tools
Description :
Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web
server and tools.

The framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks
(and certainly most Python frameworks) because it is non-blocking and
reasonably fast. Because it is non-blocking and uses epoll, it can
handle thousands of simultaneous standing connections, which means it is
ideal for real-time web services.
