PycURL is only need for the http client part, to act as a server, there is no need. > Can you send us instructions to build a single-file tornado server? As I said, once I did a single-file build of tornado 1.2.1. It wasn't an automatic build with some script magic, but instead, was made by hand and was surprisingly easy to join the essential parts. Today I look at tornado and they are in version 2.4. So I spend some time rebuild the single-file tornado. It was easier and smaller with version 1.2, but it is still easy. I put it on github (https://github.com/rpedroso/motor) with some instrutions. It was tested only in Linux, so may work (I hope) or not for others systems. I put the results of two ab benchmarks in the README (rocket vs monolithic tornado) of web2py trunk Ricardo > On Monday, 1 October 2012 16:27:11 UTC-5, Ricardo Pedroso wrote: >> >> On Sun, Sep 30, 2012 at 6:43 PM, Massimo Di Pierro >> <massimo....@gmail.com> wrote: >> > We can only package pure python web servers.
