The tornado-facebook-sdk is a library that aims to ease the task of writing non-blocking, server side, facebook social graph accessing code. It's built using tornado. This makes tornado-facebook-sdk a perfect fit if you're developing an application using tornado.
The prefered way to install is via pip
$ pip install tornado-facebook-sdk
From github, for the last version
$ pip install git+https://github.com/pauloalem/tornado-facebook-sdk.git
Or you can just download it and install via setup.py, it's up to you.
Getting facebook's public page
from tornado import ioloop
from facebook import GraphAPI
ioloop = ioloop.IOLoop.instance()
graph = GraphAPI()
# a simple callback that prints social graph responses
def print_callback(data):
print data
ioloop.stop()
graph.get_object('/facebook', callback=print_callback)
ioloop.start()
Authenticating with a user auth token and printing it's name
graph = GraphAPI(access_token)
#do something with the user's data, like print it's first name
def get_first_name(me):
print me['first_name']
ioloop.stop()
result = graph.get_object('/me', callback=get_first_name)
ioloop.start()
Posting on an user's wall
def callback(response):
# ...
graph.post_wall("Maoe!", callback=callback)
Which is just a shortcut for
def callback(response):
# ...
graph.put_object('me', 'feed', message="Maoe!!", callback=callback)
Deleting an object
def callback(response):
# ...
graph.delete_object(obj_id, callback=callback)

This library is based on the facebook-sdk library. Originaly, I was going to use it as it's simple and has a nice interface, but it's blocking code makes it a no-no.
