Installation and Requirements
=============================
gevent runs on Python 2 and Python 3. Versions 2.6 and 2.7 of Python 2
are supported, and versions 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 of Python 3 are
supported. gevent requires the greenlet__ library.
`gevent 1.1`_ runs on Python 2 and Python 3. Versions 2.6 and 2.7 of
Python 2 are supported, and versions 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 of Python 3 are
supported. (Users of older versions of Python need to install gevent
1.0.x.) gevent requires the greenlet__ library.
gevent also runs on PyPy 2.5.0 and above, although 2.6.1 or above is
gevent 1.1 also runs on PyPy 2.6.1 and above, although 4.0 or above is
strongly recommended. On PyPy, there are no external dependencies.
gevent and greenlet can both be installed with `pip`_, e.g., ``pip
install gevent``. On Windows, both gevent and greenlet are distributed
as binary `wheels`_, so no C compiler is required (so long as pip is
at least version 1.4). On Linux and Mac OS X, a C compiler (Xcode on
OS X) and the Python development package are required.
