[zeromq-dev] Tornado loops

[Daniel Truemper]

Whomever might interest this: a little gist on using the pyzmq eventloop with Tornado's AsyncHTTPClient:

https://gist.github.com/777893

The idea is the following:

- a Master PUSHes URLs
- a Downlaoder receives events using the ZMQStream
	- download the URL using Tornado's AsyncHTTPClient
	- once downloaded, PUBlish the interesting data
- the Master SUBscribes to that and does even more interesting stuff with all the data

The Message architecture is somewhat similar to what Mongrel2 does.
Any comments?

Best
Daniel
