gevent is a coroutine-based Python networking library that uses greenlet to
|
|
provide a high-level synchronous API on top of the libevent event loop.
|
|
|
|
Features include:
|
|
- Fast event loop based on libevent (epoll on Linux, kqueue on FreeBSD).
|
|
- Lightweight execution units based on greenlet.
|
|
- API that re-uses concepts from the Python standard library (for example there
|
|
are Events and Queues).
|
|
- Cooperative sockets with SSL support.
|
|
- DNS queries performed through libevent-dns.
|
|
- Monkey patching utility to get 3rd party modules to become cooperative.
|
|
- Fast WSGI server based on libevent-http
|
|
|
|
gevent is inspired by eventlet but features more consistent API, simpler
|
|
implementation and better performance. Read why others use gevent and check out
|
|
the list of the open source projects based on gevent.
