Cyclone


Cyclone is a web server framework for Python, that implements the Tornado API as a Twisted protocol.
See http://cyclone.io for details.

Installation

Cyclone is listed in PyPI and can be installed with pip or easy_install. Note that the source distribution includes demo applications that are not present when Cyclone is installed in this way, so you may wish to download a copy of the source tarball as well.

Manual installation

Download the latest release from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cyclone
tar zxvf cyclone-$VERSION.tar.gz
cd cyclone-$VERSION
sudo python setup.py install
The Cyclone source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/fiorix/cyclone

Prerequisites

Cyclone runs on Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7, and requires:
On Python 2.5, simplejson is required too.

Platforms

Cyclone should run on any Unix-like platform, although for the best performance and scalability only Linux and BSD (including BSD derivatives like Mac OS X) are recommended.
