green-monkey
Use green versions of all possible modules. For use with gevent.
Install & Usage
pip install green-monkey
or, from source, python setup.py
install
In addition to installing green_monkey
, this will install green versions
of all possible modules.
Then place the following:
import green_monkey green_monkey.patch_all()
somewhere before any of your normal imports or code.
You'll now be using green versions of all modules and the standard
library will be patched. You can think of this as an extension of
monkey.patch_all()
beyond the standard library.
Example: greening Django project
For instance, in a standard WSGI handler for Apache you might do something like this:
import os, sys sys.path.append('/usr/local/django') os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings' import green_monkey green_monkey.patch_all() import django.core.handlers.wsgi application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
Or in a Gunicorn config, you might do something like this:
bind = "127.0.0.1:" workers = 3 worker_class = "gevent" def def_post_fork(server, worker): import green_monkey green_monkey.patch_all() post_fork = def_post_fork
and now your Django project is probably green!
In general, it's not possible to automatically green an arbitrary
codebase, as it may do something like call an external C library which
blocks. But for many projects this will work well -- especially for largely
self-contained bits of code, e.g. event handlers in django-socketio
.
