This is Facebooks's Tornado Chat demo app,
https://github.com/facebook/tornado/tree/master/demos/chat
which is adapted to use MongoDB for persistence.

Development
===========

    # install mongodb,tornado,pymongo,pycurl
    python app.py
    # visit http://localhost:8888/

Deployment (CloudFoundry)
=========================

First, prepare the CF server:

1. Install ActivePython to /opt/ActivePython-2.7
2. Install dependencies for this application (which should be
   automated as part of 'vmc push' in future)::

   $ sudo /opt/ActivePython-2.7/bin/pypm -g install tornado pymongo
   $ sudo /opt/ActivePython-2.7/bin/pip install pycurl

Then, push using ActiveState's fork of vmc; here's a sample session
(pay attention to 'Application Type' selection and service binding):

$ ~/as/vmc/bin/vmc push activechat
