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.

Note: In Guix, this package assumes the environment variable EVENTLET_NO_GREENDNS defaults to yes. To try to use it, set it to anything else.
