[Python-modules-team] Bug#826455: Dependency updates to python-tornado

[Ben Darnell]

Package: python-tornado
Version: 4.3.0-2

I'm the upstream maintainer of Tornado. The debian package dependencies
have gotten a bit out of date. The references to python-simplejson and
python-multiprocessing can be removed now that python 2.5 is no longer
supported. python-mysqldb should be removed from the "Recommends" list
(it's not used anywhere in tornado itself, only in one of the example apps
installed into the doc directory). python-pycurl is no longer strictly
required so I would downgrade it from "Depends" to "Recommends".
python3-pycurl can similarly be recommended on python 3. I would also add a
"Recommends" for python-concurrent.futures in python 2.

While you're updating the control file, I suggest updating the description
text as well (since FriendFeed must now be referred to in the past tense).
Here's the current blurb on tornadoweb.org:
Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library,
originally developed at FriendFeed. By using non-blocking network I/O,
Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections, making it ideal
for long polling, WebSockets, and other applications that require a
long-lived connection to each user.

Thanks,
-Ben
