+Gevent is a coroutine-based Python networking library that uses greenlet
+to provide a high-level synchronous API on top of the libev event loop.
+
+Features include:
+ - Fast event loop based on libev (epoll on Linux, kqueue on FreeBSD).
+ - Lightweight execution units based on greenlet.
+ - API that re-uses concepts from the Python standard library
+ (for example there are Events and Queues).
+ - Cooperative sockets with SSL support »
+ - DNS queries performed through threadpool or c-ares.
+ - Monkey patching utility to get 3rd party modules to become
+ cooperative
