Using sockjs with Tornado. On server run, this is the trace returned :

python server.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):

Could you try fixing the version as `sockjs-tornado==1.0.3` in your requirements.txt file? — hurturk, Mar 25 '17 at 05:32
Is there a chance you are using https://github.com/aio-libs/sockjs project? I think you have a collision as sockjs is hard copied in the directory, you will need to delete the directory or install aiohttp by `pip install aiohttp` as requirement is visible in `setup.py` — hurturk, Mar 26 '17 at 14:03

I would recommend you to upgrade python version to Python 3.5+ and utilize PEP-492 aka async/await. If you are using Python 3.4 please replace await with yield from and async def with @coroutine e.g.:

async def coro(...): ret = await f()

should be replaced by:

@asyncio.coroutine def coro(...): ret = yield from f()

from aiohttp documentaion:

Dependencies Python 3.4.2+

chardet, multidict, async_timeout, yarl

Optionally you may install the cChardet and aiodns libraries (highly recommended for sake of speed).

$ pip install cchardet

$ pip install aiodns
