To do
=====

* register signals in eventlet hub, only needed for pyevent hub?
* port greenio examples to aiogreen
* write unit tests for, and maybe also examples for:

  - TCP server
  - UDP socket
  - UNIX socket
  - pipes
  - signals
  - subprocesses

* run an event loop in a thread different than the main thread
* tox.ini: test Python 3.3 with monkey-patching, see eventlet bug:
  https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/pull/168


eventlet issues
===============

* eventlet monkey patching on Python 3 is incomplete. The most blocking issue
  is in the importlib: the thread module is patched to use greenthreads, but
  importlib really need to work on real threads. Pull request:
  https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/pull/168
* eventlet.tpool.setup() seems to be broken on Windows in eventlet 0.15.
  Pull request:
  https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/pull/167
* hub.debug_blocking is implemented with signal.alarm() which is is not
  available on Windows.


.. _eventlet-py3:

eventlet and Python 3
=====================

eventlet 0.15 is the first release supporting Python 3. Python 3 is only
supported if monkey-patching is not used.
