Twisted is a set of libraries for asynchronous programming in python in general, including web projects. Tornado is exactly a web server that can run wsgi applications (without asynchrony) and applications built on native APIs (with asynchrony). If you have a web project, take Tornado, it's easy to learn, while twisted requires more serious immersion.
