===========================================

Evergreen: cooperative multitasking and i/o

===========================================

Overview

========

Evergreen is a cooperative multitasking and i/o library for Python. It provides equivalent primitives to

those for thread programming, but uses a cooperative model instead.

Operations are driven by an event loop which will run the given tasks and i/o operations in a non-blocking

manner while presenting the user a synchronous, blocking API.

Features:

- Cooperative multitasking

- Cooperative synchronization primitives: locks, events, queues, channels

- Futures API (almost) compatible with the standard library

- Cooperative versions of several standard library modules

- Ability to monkey patch standard library modules to make them

  cooperative

Running the test suite

======================

There are several ways of running the test suite:

- Run the test with the current Python interpreter:

  From the toplevel directory, run: ``nosetests -v``

- Use Tox to run the test suite in several virtualenvs with several interpreters

  From the toplevel directory, run: ``tox -e py26,py27,py32, py33`` this will run the test suite

  on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3 (you'll need to have them installed beforehand)
