-Eventlet is a concurrent networking library for Python that allows you to change how you run your code, not how you write it.
-
-It uses epoll or libevent for highly scalable non-blocking I/O. Coroutines ensure that the developer uses a blocking style of programming that is similar to threading, but provide the benefits of non-blocking I/O. The event dispatch is implicit, which means you can easily use Eventlet from the Python interpreter, or as a small part of a larger application.
-
-It's easy to get started using Eventlet, and easy to convert existing
-applications to use it. Start off by looking at the `examples`_,
-`common design patterns`_, and the list of `basic API primitives`_.

-Quick Example
-===============
-
-Here's something you can try right on the command line::
-
- % python
- >>> import eventlet
- >>> from eventlet.green import urllib2
- >>> gt = eventlet.spawn(urllib2.urlopen, 'http://eventlet.net')
- >>> gt2 = eventlet.spawn(urllib2.urlopen, 'http://secondlife.com')
- >>> gt2.wait()
- >>> gt.wait()

-Getting Eventlet
-==================
-
-The easiest way to get Eventlet is to use pip::
-
- pip install eventlet
-
-The development `tip`_ is available as well::
-
- pip install 'eventlet==dev'
-
-.. _tip: http://bitbucket.org/eventlet/eventlet/get/tip.zip#egg=eventlet-dev
-
-
-Building the Docs Locally
-=========================
-
-To build a complete set of HTML documentation, you must have Sphinx, which can be found at http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ (or installed with `pip install Sphinx`)::
-
- cd doc
- make html
-
-The built html files can be found in doc/_build/html afterward.
-
-
-Twisted
-=======
-
-Eventlet had Twisted hub in the past, but community interest to this integration has dropped over time,
-now it is not supported, so with apologies for any inconvenience we discontinue Twisted integration.
-
-If you have a project that uses Eventlet with Twisted, your options are:
-
-* use last working release eventlet==0.14
-* start a new project with only Twisted hub code, identify and fix problems. As of eventlet 0.13,
-`EVENTLET_HUB` environment variable can point to external modules.
-* fork Eventlet, revert Twisted removal, identify and fix problems. This work may be merged back into main project.
