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.
- PyOpenSSL >= 0.11
- gevent (compatible with 1.0 pre-releases as well)
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 ensuring the nonblocking flag is set before any blocking operation and the OpenSSL Connection is polled internally to trigger needed events.
