"""``tornado.gen`` is a generator-based interface to make it easier to work in an asynchronous environment. Code using the ``gen`` module is technically asynchronous, but it is written as a single generator instead of a collection of separate functions. For example, the following asynchronous handler:: class AsyncHandler(RequestHandler): @asynchronous def get(self): http_client = AsyncHTTPClient() http_client.fetch("http://example.com", callback=self.on_fetch) def on_fetch(self, response): do_something_with_response(response) self.render("template.html") could be written with ``gen`` as:: class GenAsyncHandler(RequestHandler): @gen.coroutine def get(self): http_client = AsyncHTTPClient() response = yield http_client.fetch("http://example.com") do_something_with_response(response) self.render("template.html") Most asynchronous functions in Tornado return a `.Future`; yielding this object returns its `~.Future.result`. For functions that do not return ``Futures``, `Task` works with any function that takes a ``callback`` keyword argument (most Tornado functions can be used in either style, although the ``Future`` style is preferred since it is both shorter and provides better exception handling):: @gen.coroutine def get(self): yield gen.Task(AsyncHTTPClient().fetch, "http://example.com") You can also yield a list or dict of ``Futures`` and/or ``Tasks``, which will be started at the same time and run in parallel; a list or dict of results will be returned when they are all finished:: @gen.coroutine def get(self): http_client = AsyncHTTPClient() response1, response2 = yield [http_client.fetch(url1), http_client.fetch(url2)] response_dict = yield dict(response3=http_client.fetch(url3), response4=http_client.fetch(url4)) response3 = response_dict['response3'] response4 = response_dict['response4'] .. versionchanged:: 3.2 Dict support added. For more complicated interfaces, `Task` can be split into two parts: `Callback` and `Wait`:: class GenAsyncHandler2(RequestHandler): @gen.coroutine def get(self): http_client = AsyncHTTPClient() http_client.fetch("http://example.com", callback=(yield gen.Callback("key"))) response = yield gen.Wait("key") do_something_with_response(response) self.render("template.html") The ``key`` argument to `Callback` and `Wait` allows for multiple asynchronous operations to be started at different times and proceed in parallel: yield several callbacks with different keys, then wait for them once all the async operations have started. The result of a `Wait` or `Task` yield expression depends on how the callback was run. If it was called with no arguments, the result is ``None``. If it was called with one argument, the result is that argument. If it was called with more than one argument or any keyword arguments, the result is an `Arguments` object, which is a named tuple ``(args, kwargs)``.

In most cases, functions decorated with `engine` should take a ``callback`` argument and invoke it with their result when they are finished.

In all versions of Python a coroutine that simply wishes to exit early may use the ``return`` statement without a value. Functions with this decorator return a `.Future`. Additionally, they may be called with a ``callback`` keyword argument, which will be invoked with the future's result when it resolves. If the coroutine fails, the callback will not be run and an exception will be raised into the surrounding `.StackContext`. The ``callback`` argument is not visible inside the decorated function; it is handled by the decorator itself.
