gevent is a coroutine-based Python networking library that uses greenlet to provide a high-level synchronous API on top of libevent event loop. Features include: - convenient API around greenlets - familiar synchronization primitives (Event, Queue) - cooperative socket and ssl modules - WSGI server on top of libevent-http - DNS requests done through libevent-dns - monkey patching utility to get pure Python modules, like urllib2, to cooperate Homepage: http://www.gevent.org Download page: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gevent * changes in 0.12.0 * - The major new feature is a gevent.ssl module, that provides cooperative implementation of the standard ssl module. It does not require any additional extensions on Python ≥ 2.6. It also works on 2.4 and 2.5 if ssl package is installed. The old, PyOpenSSL-based implementation of SSL objects is still available, but the new version is the preferred way now. - The library now compiles and passes most of the relevant tests on Windows. It’s still has a few rough edges (e.g. Ctrl-C is not working), so it should be considered experimental. - The socket object gained some performance improvements as well as a number of bugfixes. - Several incompatibilities of wsgi module with the WSGI spec have been fixed.
