gevent is a coroutine-based Python networking library that uses greenlet to provide a high-level synchronous API on top of the libevent event loop.
Features include:
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.
gevent is written and maintained by Denis Bilenko with help from the contributors and is licensed under the MIT license.

Using Coroutines to Create Efficient, High-Concurrency Web Applications
In this talk Matt Spitz evaluates several ways to deploy WSGI applications. At Meebo, they settled on gunicorn + gevent, preferring it to mod_wsdi and Twisted.
An outsider’s look at co-routines.
This is an overview by Peter Portante that compares greenlet-based approaches like gevent with yield-based coroutines and threads.
This is a maintenance release, with a few issues fixed by the users.
