Any word on when Gevent will be compatible with Python 3?
Messing around with things like Erlang and node recently, I kinda lost trac about the Python event libraries. Anyone here care to give a short update about the current state of gevent vs. eventlet?
So it drops the half-baked built-in http lib from libevent in process of switching to libev. That's cool with me. What was the motivation for the switch?
I have written about the reasons here: http://blog.gevent.org/2011/04/28/libev-and-libevent/
This also supports threading. w00t.
