How use Django with Tornado web server?

Question

How do I use Django with the Tornado web server?

Answer 1

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 os import tornado.httpserver import tornado.ioloop import tornado.wsgi import sys import 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 os import tornado.httpserver import tornado.ioloop import tornado.wsgi from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application  def 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()
