Tornado in Python, what is it for?

Question

Tornado

Good afternoon.
Can you please briefly describe the tasks for which you need to use this framework?
And is it possible to use it along with django? Sorry if it's a stupid question?

Answer 1

It can and should be used in parallel with django.
Chats, notifications, page updates triggered on the server side, long polling, websockets, push notifications, etc. All of which the traditional MVC framework is not well suited for.
"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."
