It uses epoll or libevent under the hood to handle many concurrent connections efficiently. The library has been around since its early releases but is now in maintenance-only mode: the maintainers explicitly discourage new projects from adopting it and recommend using asyncio instead, which is now part of the Python standard library. Eventlet will only receive stability and bug fixes going forward, with no new features except those supporting migration to asyncio. If you're starting a new project, the maintainers suggest using asyncio; if you already depend on eventlet, the project provides migration guidance.","worth_installing":"No for new projects\u2014the maintainers explicitly discourage new usage and recommend asyncio instead. Yes-with-conditions if you are already maintaining eventlet code and need stability fixes or are actively migrating to asyncio. The library is actively maintained for bug fixes but will not receive new features, and retirement is planned."},"id":"eventlet","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/eventlet","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/eventlet.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/eventlet/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"eventlet","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Highly concurrent networking library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":7514505,"position":1729,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.41.2"}
