==============
gevent-openssl
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.
Requirements
- PyOpenSSL >= 0.11
- gevent (compatible with 1.0 pre-releases as well)
Usage
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.
About
This compatibility is accomplished by yielding to the gevent scheduler
when pyOpenSSL is waiting to be able to read or write data.
