title: Is There a Tornado Equivalent of SimpleHTTPServer?
body: <p>Looking through the <a href="https://github.com/facebook/tornado/tree/master/demos" rel="nofollow noreferrer">demos</a>, <a href="http://tornadogists.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TornadoGists</a> and <a href="https://gist.github.com/gists/search?q=tornado&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">other gist snippets</a> (based on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8266893/python-demo-web-projects-on-a-tornado-server">this previous question</a>), I haven't found any code equivalent to <code>SimpleHTTPServer</code> from the standard library in Python. I'm looking for a really small web server that can handle concurrent requests, with all the boilerplate that <code>SimpleHTTPServer</code> includes for serving up files from the launch directory.</p>
