After working on it on-and-off for a few weeks today I’m open sourcing uvent. uvent is a gevent core implementation using libuv.

I’ve written about libuv earlier in this blog, but to put it shortly: libuv is the new black. Specially when we are talking about asynchronous IO.

uvent is still experimental, but results are encouraging, not all tests are failing! :–) I think libuv is the perfect match for a library such as gevent, we’ll see where this goes.

The code can be checked out here and for those who want to know the scary details I wrote a short document with some notes here

Hope you like it!
