Python:FriendFeed的Tornado Web Server
代码很简单，不到5k行。但是思路挺好的，改成non-blocking了之后效率就是能提高不少，特别是考虑到现代的web app都需要和其他的
HTTP服务器通信，blocking的代价太大了。 Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server and tools that power FriendFeed. The FriendFeed application is written using a web framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the underlying non-blocking infrastructure.
The framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks (and certainly most Python frameworks) because it is non-blocking and reasonably fast. Because it is non-blocking and uses epoll, it can handle thousands of simultaneous standing connections, which means it is ideal for real-time web services. We built the web server specifically to handle FriendFeed's real-time features — every active user of FriendFeed maintains an open connection to the FriendFeed servers. (For more information on scaling servers to support thousands of clients, see The C10K problem.)

StringIO的行为与file对象非常像，但它不是磁盘上文件，而是一个内存里的“文件”，我们可以将操作磁盘文件那样来操作StringIO。一个简单的例子，让你对StringIO有一个感性的认识： 1 #coding=gbk 2 3 import StringIO, cStringIO, sys 4 5 s ......
首先要搞清楚，字符串在Python内部的表示是unicode编码，因此，在做编码转换时，通常需要以unicode作为中间编码，即先将其他编码的字符串解码（decode）成unicode，再从unicode编码（encode）成另一种编码。
decode的作用是将其他编码的字符串转换成unicode编码，如str1.decode('gb2312')，表示将gb2312编码的字符串转换� ......
# 004
# 利用三引号(''' or """)可以指示多行字符串
print '''line1
line2
line3'''
# 另外，你还可以在三引号中任意使用单引号和双引号
print ''' "What's up? ," he replied.'''
# 否则，你好使用转义符来实现同样的效果
# 还是使用三引号好，不然就破坏了视觉美了
