Do you get the same error if you just do pip install gevent? If so it is an issue with gevent and can probably not be solved in locust...

[ecc256]

Lars, Yep, same error... gevent is included in locust setup, right?

[cyberw]

Yup, it is a core component of locust.

[cyberw]

If gevent doesnt work in conda then there isn't much we can do. Maybe you can file a bug on gevent? https://github.com/gevent/gevent

Gevent & Locust does work in Anaconda. I just tested it within a Ubuntu 18.04 docker container (Anaconda 2019.10, Python 3.7). I think this might be a Windows related issue.

[ecc256]

gevent works in Anaconda 2019.10, Python 3.8 @ Ubuntu 18.04 without container too. Need gcc installed to build it.

[ecc256]

Found the root issue, solution is here:

Basically, the install sequence should be:

pip install git+git://github.com/gevent/gevent@master
pip install git+git://github.com/gwik/geventhttpclient@master
pip install locust

Edited The following will do too:

pip install git+git://github.com/gevent/gevent@master
pip install locust

@ecc256 Thanks!
