torncoder 0.1.1

Basic tornado-based python utilities.

Torncoder

Tornado Utility Library for various features.

This library contains a few common classes and helpers that:

• Make file serving easier.
• Make file uploads easier.
• Permit piping output from processes easier.
• Basic pool management.

(Static) FileHandler Utilities

tornado's default web.StaticFileHandler is a bit onerous and confusing to subclass or otherwise use; torncoder instead defines a slightly different interface for similar purposes, but consolidates much of the work:

class MyFileHandler(AbstractFileHandler):

    async def fetch_file_info(self, path):
        # Validate path, then return a FileInfo tuple.
        return FileInfo(...)

    async def get_iter_content(self, path_handle, start, end):
        # Iterate over the content from start/end.
        # NOTE: 'path_handle' is the path argument by the above FileInfo.
