You can pick and chose which parts of django you want to use.  You don't 
need to use any of the Django model stuff.  You don't need to use any of 
the template system.  You can tear out all or most of the default 
middleware.  At that point, about all that's left is the route parser 
and dispatch code.  The nice thing about this is that as you 
incrementally discover which pieces of it you really do need, it's easy 
to pull them in.

That being said, we've made a lot of use of Tornado for small 
stand-alone web services with just a couple of routes.  In retrospect, 
it's unclear if there's any justifiable argument for why we use both 
Tornado and Django, other than hysterical raisins.
