We're running a server on eventlet green-threads + monkey-patching everything. I need to implement wait loop with periodic check, and I want to put sleep inside.
Is there any difference between :
eventlet.greenthread.sleep(1) AND time.sleep(1)
in monkey-patched environment? I'm wondering if monkey-patch handles time.sleep
They're the same in a monkey-patched environment. eventlet monkey patches time.sleep by default:
No monkey patch:
>>> import time
>>> time.sleep.__module__
'time'
With monkey-patch:
>>> import eventlet
>>> eventlet.monkey_patch()
>>> import time
>>> time.sleep.__module__
'eventlet.greenthread'
The only way it wouldn't be monkey-patch is if the eventlet.monkey_patch call specifies a subset of modules to monkey-patch, leaving out 'time':
>>> import eventlet
>>> eventlet.monkey_patch(socket=True, thread=True)
>>> import time
>>> time.sleep.__module__
'time'
