+Tornado
+~~~~~~~
+
+`Tornado <http://www.tornadoweb.org//>`_ is a web framework with support
+for HTTP and WebSocket. Support for this framework requires Python 3.5 and
+newer. Only Tornado version 5 and newer are supported, thanks to its tight
+integration with asyncio.
+
+Instances of class ``socketio.AsyncServer`` will automatically use tornado
+for asynchronous operations if the library is installed. To request its use
+explicitly, the ``async_mode`` option can be given in the constructor::
+
+    sio = socketio.AsyncServer(async_mode='tornado')
+
+A server configured for tornado must include a request handler for
+Engine.IO::
+
+    app = tornado.web.Application(
+        [
+            (r"/socketio.io/", socketio.get_tornado_handler(sio)),
+        ],
+        # ... other application options
+    )
+
+The tornado application can define other routes that will coexist with the
+Socket.IO server. A typical pattern is to add routes that serve a client
+application and any associated static files.
+
+The tornado application is then executed in the usual manner::
+
+    app.listen(port)
+    tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()
