tulipcore

tulipcore_ is an alternative gevent_ core loop. It is based on asyncio_ a.k.a. tulip, the async library for Python 3. With tulipcore_, you can run gevent_ code on top of asyncio_.

tulipcore_ is written and maintained by Fantix King_ and is licensed under MIT license.

Install tulipcore

Install Python 3.4 or newer, greenlet_ extension and gevent_ library. Note if you are running on Python 3.3, you still need to install the asyncio_ library.

Please note, at this point (mid 2015) only master branch of gevent_ supports Python 3. So if you want to have a try right now, you can install it by:

.. code:: sh

pip install git+git://github.com/gevent/gevent.git

Install tulipcore:

.. code:: sh

pip install git+git://github.com/decentfox/tulipcore.git

Use tulipcore

Add this environment variable, it will tell gevent_ to use tulipcore_:

.. code:: sh

GEVENT_LOOP=tulipcore.Loop

For example, you can run the gevent_ test suite with tulipcore_ installed:

.. code:: sh

cd gevent/greentest GEVENT_LOOP=tulipcore.Loop python testrunner.py

History

This project was originally called gevent3_, which was a wrapper of asyncio_ for Python 3 offering a gevent-compatible API. It was developed in a wrong direction and I decided to abandon it.
