What is gevent?
=================
gevent is a coroutine_ -based Python_ networking library that uses
greenlet to provide a high-level synchronous API on top of the libev
event loop.
Features include:
* **Fast event loop** based on libev (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 :class:`gevent.event.Events` and :class:`gevent.queue.Queues`).
* :doc:`Cooperative sockets with SSL support <networking>`
* DNS queries performed through threadpool or c-ares.
* :ref:`Monkey patching utility <monkey-patching>` to get 3rd party modules to become cooperative
gevent is `inspired by eventlet
<http://blog.gevent.org/2010/02/27/why-gevent/>`_ but features more
consistent API, simpler implementation and better performance. Read
why others `use gevent
<http://groups.google.com/group/gevent/browse_thread/thread/4de9703e5dca8271>`_
and check out the list of the `open source projects based on gevent. <http://code.google.com/p/gevent/wiki/ProjectsUsingGevent>`_
gevent is written and maintained by `Denis Bilenko
<http://denisbilenko.com/>`_ with help from the `contributors <https://github.com/gevent/gevent/blob/master/AUTHORS#L1>`_ and is licensed under the MIT license.
