Gunicorn ImportError: cannot import name 'ALREADY_HANDLED' from 'eventlet.wsgi' in docker


I had a working code running flask with gunicorn (eventlet worker) in docker. It's also working in production, but on my machine, it started doing this. I can't find anything on google about this thing. What meight be the problem?

Error: class uri 'eventlet' invalid or not found:

Solution

  • Installing older version of eventlet solved the problem: pip install eventlet==0.30.2


    EDIT:

    you can use the newer versions like this: pip install eventlet==0.33.0 https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/archive/refs/heads/master.zip#egg=gunicorn==20.1.0
