Open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server and tools that power FriendFeed
Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server and tools that power FriendFeed. The FriendFeed application is written using a web framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the underlying non-blocking infrastructure.
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. We built the web server specifically to handle FriendFeed's real-time features — every active user of FriendFeed maintains an open connection to the FriendFeed servers. (For more information on scaling servers to support thousands of clients, see The C10K problem.)

(revision 4)
- Add patch openssl-3.2.patch gh#tornadoweb/tornado#3355
- update to 6.4:
* https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/releases/v6.4.0.html
* Python 3.12 is now supported.
- drop py312-datetime.patch (upstream)
* The Content-Length header and chunked Transfer-Encoding sizes
are now parsed more strictly (according to the relevant RFCs)
to avoid potential request-smuggling vulnerabilities when
* Do not test multi-line headers.
- require python-backports.ssl_hostname only on python 2.x
or 3.2.
* This release fixes a path traversal vulnerability in StaticFileHandler,
in which files whose names started with the static_path directory
* SSLIOStream.connect and IOStream.start_tls now
* Certificate validation will now use the system CA root certificates
instead of certifi when possible (i.e. Python 2.7.9+ or 3.4+).
* The default SSL configuration has become stricter,
using ssl.create_default_context where available on the client side.
(On the server side, applications are encouraged to migrate from
* The deprecated classes in the tornado.auth module, GoogleMixin,
+ See more release details at
- added python3 package
