- 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`_.
- .. _examples: http://eventlet.net/doc/examples.html
- .. _common design patterns: http://eventlet.net/doc/design_patterns.html
- .. _basic API primitives: http://eventlet.net/doc/basic_usage.html
- 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 easy_install or pip::
- easy_install eventlet
- pip install eventlet
- The development `tip`_ is available via easy_install as well::
- easy_install 'eventlet==dev'
- pip install 'eventlet==dev'
- .. _tip: http://bitbucket.org/which_linden/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 `easy_install sphinx`)
- cd doc
- make html
-
- The built html files can be found in doc/_build/html afterward.
