Hi all,

I install cactus v3 branch using pip install git+https://github.com/koenbok/Cactus.git@v3 currently at version 10cd41a4a06ab0c8 and I get the following error without modify anything in the website:

Uncaught exception GET / (127.0.0.1)

I finally figured out what's it happen.

If you receive this message you should update the tornado package (from 2.1 to 3.2 package).

$ sudo pip install --upgrade tornado

This fix the problem.

Thanks a lot for posting the answer! I'll update the requirements to avoid this for others.
