`BatchSpanProcessor` triggers assertion error in `gevent`

[davidhewitt]

I'm getting an AssertionError when running the following code. It seems to be a combination of gevent + opentelemetry. Originally reported in https://github.com/pydantic/logfire/issues/63

Minimal reproduction:

import gevent.monkey

gevent.monkey.patch_all()

from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor, SpanExporter

processor = BatchSpanProcessor(SpanExporter(), schedule_delay_millis=500)

# doing this import shows the error
import magic

Output looks like this:

$ python app.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
