Check out the want to consider one of the alternate worker types.

To install eventlet:

-$ easy_install -U eventlet
+$ easy_install -U greenlet  # Required for both
+$ easy_install -U eventlet  # For eventlet workers
+$ easy_install -U gevent    # For gevent workers
-

Replace eventlet with gevent to use to the gevent based workers.

Note

-

If you encounter errors when compiling the extensions for Eventlet or -Gevent you most likely need to install a newer version of libev.

+

If installing greenlet fails you probably need to install +the Python headers. These headers are available in most package +managers. On Ubuntu the package name for apt-get is +python-dev.

+

Gevent also requires that libevent 1.4.x or 2.0.4 is installed. +This could be a more recent version than what is available in your +package manager. If Gevent fails to build even with libevent +installed, this is the most likely reason.
