You don't need to use any of the Django model stuff. You don't need to use any of the template system. You can tear out all or most of the default middleware. At that point, about all that's left is the route parser and dispatch code. The nice thing about this is that as you incrementally discover which pieces of it you really do need, it's easy to pull them in. That being said, we've made a lot of use of Tornado for small stand-alone web services with just a couple of routes. In retrospect, it's unclear if there's any justifiable argument for why we use both Tornado and Django, other than hysterical raisins. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
