Starting from gevent >= 1.5 '*.pxd' files for gevent API are no longer provided, at least in released gevent wheels. This broke pygolang: Error compiling Cython file: ------------------------------------------------------------ ... # Gevent runtime uses gevent's greenlets and semaphores. # When sema.acquire() blocks, gevent switches us from current to another greenlet. IF not PYPY: from gevent._greenlet cimport Greenlet ^ ------------------------------------------------------------ golang/runtime/_runtime_gevent.pyx:28:4: 'gevent/_greenlet.pxd' not found Since gevent upstream refuses to restore Cython level access[1], let's fix the build by using gevent bits via Python-level. Even when used via py import gevent-1.5 brings speed improvement compared to gevent-1.4 (used via cimport): (on i7@2.6GHz, gevent runtime) gevent-1.4 gevent-1.5 (cimport) (py import) name old time/op new time/op delta pyx_select_nogil 9.47µs ± 0% 8.74µs ± 0% -7.70% (p=0.000 n=10+9) pyx_go_nogil 14.3µs ± 1% 12.0µs ± 1% -16.52% (p=0.000 n=10+10) pyx_chan_nogil 7.10µs ± 1% 6.32µs ± 1% -10.89% (p=0.000 n=10+10) go 16.0µs ± 2% 13.4µs ± 1% -16.37% (p=0.000 n=10+10) chan 7.50µs ± 0% 6.79µs ± 0% -9.53% (p=0.000 n=10+10) select 10.8µs ± 1% 10.0µs ± 1% -6.78% (p=0.000 n=10+10) Using gevent-1.5 could have been even faster via cimport (it is still possible to compile and test against gevent installed in development mode via `pip install -e` because pxd files are there in gevent worktree and tarball): gevent-1.5 gevent-1.5 (py import) (cimport) name old time/op new time/op delta pyx_select_nogil 8.74µs ± 0% 7.90µs ± 1% -9.60% (p=0.000 n=9+10) pyx_go_nogil 12.0µs ± 1% 11.2µs ± 2% -6.35% (p=0.000 n=10+10) pyx_chan_nogil 6.32µs ± 1% 5.89µs ± 0% -6.80% (p=0.000 n=10+9) go 13.4µs ± 1% 12.4µs ± 1% -7.54% (p=0.000 n=10+9) chan 6.79µs ± 0% 6.42µs ± 0% -5.47% (p=0.000 n=10+10) select 10.0µs ± 1% 9.4µs ± 1% -6.39% (p=0.000 n=10+10) but we cannot use cimport to access gevent-1.5 universally, since pxd are not shipped in gevent wheel releases. In the future we might want to change plain version check into compile time check whether gevent/_greenlet.pxd is actually present or not and use faster access if yes. Requesting gevent to be installed in non-binary form might be also an option worth trying. However plain version check should be ok for now. [1] https://github.com/gevent/gevent/issues/1568
