A comment on Chartio develops non-blocking MySQL queries using Tornado.

This is great. I was going to write my own lib that would use a whole bunch of threads and a non-blocking queue system for executing queries. While I find Tornado somewhat half-baked (it defaults to returning errors in HTML, but was built for handling feeds; its content-encoding header handling is broken, etc), there are lots of applications where non-blocking MySQL would be great.

The title is a little misleading. The method here certainly isn't dependent on Tornado, but for explanation/demo purposes it's a common context to explain it in.

Yes, I realize. This would work for anything in Python, and possibly other things as well. node.js could ditch thread pool as well.

Indeed it is not dependent on tornado, but it does use the tornado event loop in this example.
