Eventlet is a concurrent networking library for Python that allows you to change how you run your code, not how you write it.
It's easy to get started using Eventlet, and easy to convert existing applications to use it. Start off by looking at examples, common design patterns, and the list of the basic API primitives.

To install Eventlet, simply:
pip install eventlet
Alternately, you can download the source archive:

This is a low traffic list about using and developing Eventlet. Look through the archives for some useful information and possible answers to questions.
Both repositories are equal and kept in sync. You can use whichever you fancy for downloading, forking, reporting issues and submitting pull requests.
Mercurial repository used to be the main one, but most of the contribution and discussions happen on Github nowadays.

This is a simple web “crawler” that fetches a bunch of urls using a coroutine pool. It has as much concurrency (i.e. pages being fetched simultaneously) as coroutines in the pool.
import eventlet
from eventlet.green import urllib2
urls = [
"http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif",
"https://wiki.secondlife.com/w/images/secondlife.jpg",
"http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/ww/beta/y3.gif",
]
def fetch(url):
return urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
pool = eventlet.GreenPool()
for body in pool.imap(fetch, urls):
print("got body", len(body))
