Very timely

Thanks for posting this up. I was just about to deploy a web-service
with Django and saw this. Looks very promising.

FYI, on a bare-bones VPS or Debian/Ubuntu systems without python
sources installed, you'll want to run the following before trying to
build Tornado:

sudo apt-get install python-dev

or more specifically:

sudo apt-get install python-2.5-dev

This makes sure the proper Python headers are installed (otherwise
you'll get errors having to do with "missing Python.h" files.) If
you've already installed Python from sources, then nevermind.

There are also problems with installing the pre-requisite packages
under MacOS Snow Leopard alongside Python 2.6 (things like pyCurl
failing to build). I'll keep banging away at it and will post the
results, unless someone has already figured it out.

Thanks, that is useful - I will update the documentation. Sorry for the installation trouble!

Works fine once you have python-dev installed.

I got some warning about python-epoll so I also had to download python-
epoll to build and install it.
