+Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library,
+originally developed at FriendFeed. 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.
