Fixes nine misspellings spotted while reading through the codebase, all of them in comments, docstrings, or .rst documentation. No runtime behavior is affected.

File Change
docs/guide/intro.rst implementions -> implementations
docs/guide/structure.rst asynchronus -> asynchronous
tornado/auth.py verfication -> verification (Google OAuth setup notes)
tornado/escape.py Equvalent -> Equivalent (json_decode docstring); entites -> entities (linkify comment)
tornado/httputil.py vaildation -> validation (_ABNF comment)
tornado/platform/asyncio.py presense -> presence (SelectorThread.start comment)
tornado/test/httputil_test.py unamed -> unnamed (matches the spelling already used on the line above)
tornado/web.py presense -> presence (set_cookie comment)

Testing

  • python -m tornado.test — 1234 tests pass (53 skipped for optional/platform deps)
  • black --check --diff tornado demos — clean
  • flake8 tornado — clean
  • sphinx-build -W -b html docs ... — clean (warnings as errors)

Corrects nine misspellings found in source code comments, docstrings,
and Sphinx documentation. No runtime behavior is changed.

- docs/guide/intro.rst: implementions -> implementations
- docs/guide/structure.rst: asynchronus -> asynchronous
- tornado/auth.py: verfication -> verification
- tornado/escape.py: Equvalent -> Equivalent; entites -> entities
- tornado/httputil.py: vaildation -> validation
- tornado/platform/asyncio.py: presense -> presence
- tornado/test/httputil_test.py: unamed -> unnamed
- tornado/web.py: presense -> presence
