        =======
        
        .. attention::
        
          New_ version of gevent uses libev_ and c-ares rather than libevent and includes all the dependencies in the release tarball.
        
          You can download the 1.0 beta release from `google code`_. Please give it a try.

        gevent_ is a Python networking library that uses greenlet_ to provide synchronous API on top of libevent_ event loop.
        
        Features include:
        
        * Fast event loop based on libevent_.
        * Lightweight execution units based on greenlet_.
        * Familiar API that re-uses concepts from the Python standard library.
        * Cooperative sockets with ssl support.
        * DNS queries performed through libevent-dns.
        * Ability to use standard library and 3rd party modules written for standard blocking sockets
        * Fast WSGI server based on libevent-http.
        
        gevent_ is `inspired by eventlet`_ but features more consistent API, simpler implementation and better performance. Read why others `use gevent`_ and check out the list of the `open source projects based on gevent`_.
