A framework to organize tornado project and simplify development.

pip install os-tornado

• Create project

  os-tornado startproject new_project

  Will create a project structure:

  new_project/
  ├── app
  │   ├── extensions
  │   │   ├── example_extension.py
  │   │   ├── __init__.py
  │   ├── request_handlers
  │   │   ├── example_handler.py
  │   │   ├── __init__.py
  │   ├── __init__.py
  │   ├── settings.py
  └── manager.py

• Write your extensions and request handlers

  • Extension

    You can implement setup, run, cleanup as your need.

  • Request handler

    See tornado.web — RequestHandler and Application classes

    You can get extension inside request handler:

    self.application.manager.get_extenion(extension_name)

• Configure settings (app/settings.py)

  • You can set tornado inner app settings and server settings with specified PREFIX:

    TORNADO_APP_SETTINGS_

    TORNADO_SERVER_SETTINGS_

    example:

    TORNADO_APP_SETTINGS_DEBUG = True

• Run server

  python manager.py runserver

• os_tornado.decorators.jsonify

  jsonify returned dict and raised HTTPError

  example:

  @jsonify
  class ExampleHandler(RequestHandler):
  
      def get(self, *args, **kwargs):
          return {'status':'ok'}
  
      def post(self, *args, **kwargs):
          raise HTTPHandler(405)
