We must map URL patterns to our previously coded subclasses of tornado.web.RequestHandler
. The following lines create the main entry point for the application, initialize it with the URL patterns for the API, and starts listening for requests. Open the previously created api.py
file and add the following lines. The code file for the sample is included in the restful_python_chapter_09_01
folder:
application = web.Application([ (r"/hexacopters/([0-9]+)", HexacopterHandler), (r"/leds/([0-9]+)", LedHandler), (r"/altimeters/([0-9]+)", AltimeterHandler), ], debug=True) if __name__ == "__main__": port = 8888 print("Listening at port {0}".format(port)) application.listen(port) ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
The preceding code creates an instance of tornado.web.Application
named application
with the collection of request handlers that make up the Web application. The code passes a list of tuples to the Application...
