OpenStack Compute (nova)

is greenlet dead code?

Asked by Yun Mao

I did a quick grep on greenlet and only found a few lines that catch greenlet exceptions. Are those dead code? Has eventlet completely taken over? Thanks,

Yun

Yes, we've pretty well completely moved over to eventlet. I think there's only a mention or two left in the object storage service.

Eventlet uses greenlet, so killed eventlet greenthreads will raise greenlet.GreenletExit exceptions. The code is not dead code.

Whoopsy ... sorry for the confusion. I was thinking Twisted for some reason.
