Description: gevent_
        =======
        
        gevent_ is a coroutine-based Python networking library.
        
        Features include:
        
        * Fast event loop based on libev_.
        * Lightweight execution units based on greenlet_.
        * Familiar API that re-uses concepts from the Python standard library.
        * Cooperative sockets with SSL support.
        * DNS queries performed through c-ares_ or a threadpool.
        * Ability to use standard library and 3rd party modules written for standard blocking sockets
        
        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`_.
