Description: 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.
