docs: libuv-backed gevent? #112

Open FelixSchwarz opened 3 years ago

FelixSchwarz commented 3 years ago

In Notes for Windows users you mention that a libuv backend might solve some problems for Windows users. Since gevent 1.3 I think it should be possible to use libuv in gevent: Event Loop Implementations: libuv and libev. Does that mean I can just configure gevent for libuv and gipc will work better?

Unfortunately I have a low-latency gevent-backed application which needs to run on Windows so I'd be keen to avoid any potential pitfalls...

Hey Felix!

Personally, I have never tested gipc on gevent with libuv so far. Feedback is welcome! :)

Honestly, this tells me that you have to carefully try and measure things for yourself. Also, I think there's a pretty nice When To Use libuv section at the bottom of the page you linked: http://www.gevent.org/loop_impls.html
