on Windows, Limiter() constructor hangs after gevent monkeypatch

[gonewest818]

As the subject says, specifically on Windows this hangs indefinitely:

import gevent.monkey
gevent.monkey.patch_all()

from pyrate_limiter import Duration, Rate, Limiter

rate = Rate(5, Duration.SECOND * 2)
limiter = Limiter(rate)

Reproduced on Windows 11, using pyenv to install python 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12.

Were you trying to unit-test the limiter or something? What version were you using? And Limiter only accepts a list of rates, not a single rate like in your example.

No, this is the smallest repro of what I'm seeing in a larger system. I narrowed it down to literally the QuickStart example on your README except with the monkeypatching inserted first.

Oh, sorry, your other questions:

• not a unit test
• does not seem to matter if I pass Limiter a list of rates or a single rate
• version 3.6.0

I also cut down the python virtual environment to the bare minimum, it's literally just
