"""
This is a simple example of WebSocket + Tornado + Redis Pub/Sub usage.
Do not forget to replace YOURSERVER by the correct value.
Keep in mind that you need the *very latest* version of your web browser.
You also need to add Jacob Kristhammar's websocket implementation to Tornado:
Grab it here:
http://gist.github.com/526746
Or clone my fork of Tornado with websocket included:
http://github.com/pelletier/tornado
Oh and the Pub/Sub protocol is only available in Redis 2.0.0:
http://code.google.com/p/redis/downloads/detail?name=redis-2.0.0-rc4.tar.gz
Tested with Chrome 6.0.490.1 dev under OS X.
For questions / feedback / coffee -> @kizlum or [email protected].
Have fun.
