Question

Right now I have tornado options in same file, as in tornado app. And they defined like:

import tornado.options
tornado.options.define(<name>, default=<value>)

Is there way to move them out to separate file?

And also, options accessed by default like this:

tornado.options.options.<name>

Is there any way to access them just like settings.<name>?

The documentation is pretty good for Tornado.

The main() method of your application does not need to be aware of all of the options used throughout your program; they are all automatically loaded when the modules are loaded. Your main() method can parse the command line or parse a config file with:

import tornado.options
tornado.options.parse_config_file("/etc/server.conf")
tornado.options.parse_command_line()
