How use Django with Tornado web server?

it's very simple ( especially with django 1.4) .

1 - just build your django project( and apps ) and make sure it works fine.

2- create a new python file at the root folder ( same dir where you used django-admin.py startproject)

3- then copy the code below , edit the os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] line, and paste it in that new .py file.

import osimport tornado.httpserverimport tornado.ioloopimport tornado.wsgiimport sysimport django.core.handlers.wsgi#sys.path.append('/home/lawgon/') # path to your project ( if you have it in another dir).def main():    os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'myProject.settings' # path to your settings module    application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()    container = tornado.wsgi.WSGIContainer(application)    http_server = tornado.httpserver.HTTPServer(container)    http_server.listen(8888)    tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()if __name__ == "__main__":    main()

Django 1.6+ it should be like this:

import osimport tornado.httpserverimport tornado.ioloopimport tornado.wsgifrom django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_applicationdef main():    os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'myproject.settings' # path to your settings module    application = get_wsgi_application()    container = tornado.wsgi.WSGIContainer(application)    http_server = tornado.httpserver.HTTPServer(container)    http_server.listen(8888)    tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()if __name__ == "__main__":    main()

UPDATE:

I created a minimal working demo which shows how to use the Tornado web server to run nicely with django:

ORIGINAL POST:

Just a remark: The WSGI application workflow has been changed from 1.6 to 1.7. You have to replace the import

import django.core.handlers.wsgi

with

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

and change the application initialisation from

application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

to

application = get_wsgi_application()

This is the modified code from the Moayyad Yaghi's answer:

import osimport tornado.httpserverimport tornado.ioloopimport tornado.wsgiimport sysimport django.core.handlers.wsgifrom django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application#sys.path.append('/home/lawgon/') # path to your project ( if you have it in another dir).def main():    os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'myProject.settings' # path to your settings module    application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()    application = get_wsgi_application()    container = tornado.wsgi.WSGIContainer(application)    http_server = tornado.httpserver.HTTPServer(container)    http_server.listen(8888)    tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()if __name__ == "__main__":    main()

There's a project called tornado-proxy that would help you. But I would like to recommend that you use Nginx. In the Nginx config you could now use proxy_pass to direct your calls like this:

location /comet {  proxy_pass http://localhost:8081;}location / {  proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;}
