tornaduv is a Tornado IOLoop implementation which uses pyuv as the networking library instead of the builtin epoll and kqueue pollers included in Tornado.
pyuv is a Python interface for libuv, a high performance asynchronous networking library used as the platform layer for NodeJS.
tornaduv requires pyuv >= 1.0.0 and Tornado >= 3.0.
pip install tornaduv
In order to use tornaduv, Tornado needs to be instructed to use our IOLoop. In order to do that add the following lines at the beginning of your project:
from tornado.ioloop import IOLoop from tornaduv import UVLoop IOLoop.configure(UVLoop)
If you want to run the Tornado test suite using tornaduv run the following command:
python -m tornado.test.runtests --ioloop='tornaduv.UVLoop' --verbose
