Environment info in Tornado

I've been trying to use Tornado for some part of my application. For that, I want to find out the environment information of the user, that is, the browser and OS of the user.

In pylons, I can do that but I am not getting how to do that in Tornado/

All that information is stored in the request field of the the RequestHandler instance. It can be accessed via self.request from within RequestHandler methods.

It's an instance of tornado.httpserver.HTTPRequest. Information about browser, OS etc. will be found in the headers field.

Example:

import tornado.ioloop
import tornado.web

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.write(self.request.headers)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    application = tornado.web.Application([
        (r"/", MainHandler),
    ])
    application.listen(8888)
    tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
