Is the Tornado server asynchronous?

[julioasotodv]

I am trying to run the example in the docs (in tornado.py):

pingpong = thriftpy.load("pingpong.thrift")
class Dispatcher(object):
    def ping(self):
        return "pong"

server = make_server(pingpong.PingPong, Dispatcher())
server.listen(6000)

This isn't asynchronous Tornado code (since there is no @coroutine decorator in the Dispatcherclass, and it actuallty returns as any simple function).

Can be thriftpy's Tornado server asynchronous in any way?

The Tornado server implemented by thriftpy is asynchronous(using tornado.tcpserver.TCPServer). You can define methods with @gen.coroutine decorator or methods returning Future object.

class Dispatcher(object):
    @gen.coroutine
    def ping(self):
        yield gen.sleep(10)
        raise gen.Return("pong")

Hi,

Yes, you are definetly right. I tried it before, but the problem was that I was trying to send lots of calls in parallel, but from the same client (which isn't async), so I couldn't be able to get benefit from async server side code.

Thank you very much. Great library btw :)
