2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
gevent_openssl
Advanced tools
This library wraps pyOpenSSL to make it compatible with gevent. OpenSSL connection operations that would normally block the current thread will only block the current greenlet instead.
Instead of importing OpenSSL directly, do so in the following manner:
..
import gevent_openssl as OpenSSL
or
..
import gevent_openssl; gevent_openssl.monkey_patch()
Any calls that would have blocked the current thread will now only block the current green thread.
This compatibility is accomplished by yielding to the gevent scheduler when pyOpenSSL is waiting to be able to read or write data.
New BSD
This project was originally created by Phus Lu (phus.lu@gmail.com) and is now maintained by Menno Finlay-Smits (menno@freshfoo.com).
