Note from jesse: This is arguably a bug in Gevent, or in how people use Gevent. Now that Gevent 1.0 uses a thread pool for DNS resolution by default, one must be careful not to import a module that does network I/O when it is imported. There are a number of solid workarounds:
- Don't do create a MongoClient or MongoReplicaSetClient at the time your module is imported. Instead, create the client in your main program file.
- Or, set the GEVENT_RESOLVER environment variable to "ares".
- Or, execute unicode('foo').encode('idna') before importing a module that creates a client at import time.
- Or, use Gevent 0.13.8 instead of 1.0 until Gevent's issue 349 is resolved.
Original bug report:
Today I did a deployment of an application without pinning the virtualenv to gevent 0.13, which caused the latest version of gevent 1.0 to install into the virtualenv. I found that I'm seeing the instantiation of the MongoReplicaSetClient cause the program to hang. Running an strace on the PID, I see that the process is halted at an epoll_wait() syscall.
# strace -p 3615

Rolling back the installed version of gevent to 0.13 resolves the issue. As you can see above, I did explicitly set the use_greenlets arg to False, though since the default is already false, this had no effect.
Let me know if I can help further.
