Define Handler using decorator:

import tornado.web
from tornado_menumaker import page, index, subpage, routes

@page('/news', 'News', icon='icon-news')
class NewsHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):

@index
def get(self):
pass

@subpage('/show/(\d+)')
def show(self, id):
pass

@subpage('/new', 'Neue News')
def new(self):
pass

@new.post
def new(self):
pass

@subpage('/archive', 'Archiv')
def archive(self):

a = tornado.web.Application(routes())

To get the menu structure you can then use:

from tornado_menumaker import items

for level, url, caption, sub_routes, kwargs in items():
...
for level, url, caption, subsub_routes, kwargs in sub_routes:
...

This will yield for the above example:
0, '/news', 'News', <generator>, {icon: 'icon_news'}
1, '/news/new', 'Neue News', <generator>, {}
1, '/news/archive', 'Archiv', <generator>, {}
