For some reason my other account is blocked from responding so I created this one.

That is correct about pymongo. Eventlet will convert any drivers that are written entirely in Python into nonblocking driver. Gevent, an alternative to eventlet, can do the same. Brubeck supports both.

In addition to that it also makes ZeroMQ nonblocking. The combination of ZeroMQ support and pymongo, pyredis and pyriak all being available entirely as python (bson is in c tho) is what convinced me I had to write a new framework.

Your account is probably blocking you from responding because of some flamewar prevention feature Paul put in a while ago that makes it difficult for commenters to have nested discussions with one another--the deeper the discussion, the longer you have to wait before making a reply to a user who just replied to you.

Ahh...did not know that :)

wonderful.

Can you also shed light on thrift protocol ? i have struggled with the blocking nature of thrift(client).

Does eventlet convert blocking thrift client written in python to non-blocking ?

You know more about thrift than I do. If the "blocking" code is in python, eventlet should be able to fix it. You can't do anything about the native machine code, though. It appears that the client library includes a c-based codec to improve performance, but it should not be a problem if the transport is based on python sockets.
