  1. The concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor class provides us:

    1. A high-level interface for synchronously executing callables.

    2. A high-level interface for asynchronously executing callables.

    3. A high-level interface for composing HTTP requests.

  2. The @tornado.concurrent.run_on_executor decorator allows us to:

    1. Run an asynchronous method synchronously on an executor.

    2. Run an asynchronous method on an executor without generating a Future.

    3. Run a synchronous method asynchronously on an executor.

  3. The recommended way to write asynchronous code in Tornado is to use:

    1. Coroutines.

    2. Chained callbacks.

    3. Subroutines.

  4. The tornado.Testing.AsyncHTTPTestCase class represents:

    1. A test case that starts up a Flask HTTP Server.

    2. A test case that starts up a Tornado HTTP Server.

    3. A test case that doesn't start up any HTTP Server.

  5. If we want to convert the bytes in a JSON response body to a Python dictionary, we can use the following function:

    1. tornado.escape.json_decode

    2. tornado.escape.byte_decode

    3. tornado.escape...
