Is this available yet?
Yep - https://github.com/gsathya/pyonionoo It's pretty hacky(it was meant to be a prototype to see if Cyclone was a good idea - and well, i like it) and will probably have to be refactored.
Based on a quick look, it seems like Cyclone provides a slightly nicer way to specify how to handle the various requests than does a plain Twisted web application. Are there any other advantages to using Cyclone as opposed to plain Twisted?
To me, there is a trade-off:
Cyclone+Twisted: slightly nicer way to write the web application. More dependencies for Onionoo.
Plain Twisted: not quite as nice a way to write the application. Fewer dependencies for Onionoo.
Also, the documentation for Cyclone seems...minimal. It might be straightforward for someone used to using Tornado, but that doesn't describe us over here...
