i was trying to change my code to make it asynchronous using MongoTor

here is my simple code:

class BaseHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    @property 
    def db(self):
        if not hasattr(self,"_db"):
            _db = Database.connect('localhost:27017', 'essog')
            return _db
    @property
    def fs(self):
        if not hasattr(BaseHandler,"_fs"):
            _fs = gridfs.GridFS(self.db)
            return _fs


class LoginHandler(BaseHandler):
    @tornado.web.asynchronous
    @tornado.gen.engine
    def post(self):
        email = self.get_argument("email")
        password = self.get_argument("pass1")
        try:
            search = yield tornado.gen.Task(self.db.users.find, {"prs.mail":email})
            ....

i got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ioloop_is_running = IOLoop.instance().running()
 AttributeError: 'SelectIOLoop' object has no attribute 'running'
 ERROR:tornado.access:500 POST /login (::1) 3.00ms

and, excuse me for this other question, but how do i make distinct in this case?

here is what worked in blocking mode:

search = self.db.users.find({"prs.mail":email}).distinct("prs.mail")[0]

Update:

it seems that this error happenes when there is no Tornado running! it's the same error raised when using only the module in console.
