tornado-pyuv 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.

Source code is on GitHub.

This is an experimental project to test pyuv's capabilities with a big framework such as Tornado.

tornado_pyuv requires pyuv >= 0.9.0 and Tornado > 2.4.0, so right now the only way to get those is by installing them straight from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/saghul/pyuv.git
pip install git+https://github.com/facebook/tornado.git

In order to use tornado-pyuv, Tornado needs to be instructed to use our IOLoop. In order to do that add the following lines at the beginning of your project, before importing anything from Tornado:

import tornado_pyuv
tornado_pyuv.install()
