> I often wonder why Python's gevent didn't become more popular. Quite honestly, it wasn't very good. It worked magically until the magic ran out. Mysterious breakages caused by stuff deep in gevent interacting badly with other libraries hampered my ability to use it effectively. For instance, you couldn't use it with python-requests directly, you need to use another library that makes requests compatible, unless you roll your own magic, which was often very complicated. And, at least in my experience, gevent stuff tends not to work with Python 3. Now that asyncio is a thing, I'm glad I never have to debug gevent-related problems anymore.
