unclear redis block forever problem with socket, multiprocessing and gevent

[lxyu]

I came into a problem recently, after tracing problem down, I got this code

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import gevent.monkey
gevent.monkey.patch_all()

import socket
import redis
import multiprocessing


def block():
    print 'x'
    r = redis.Redis()
    r.get(1)
    print 'o'


socket.getaddrinfo('localhost', 8001)

p = multiprocessing.Process(target=block)
p.start()
p.join()

This code will be blocked forever in r.get(1).

If I comment out socket.getaddrinfo('localhost', 8001), it'll not be blocked.

So any idea on how to solve this?

btw, I'm using

gevent==1.0rc2
redis==2.7.2

Not clear of whether this is gevent problem or redis-py problem, so I also post this issue to gevent:

ok, now I'm clear this is a gevent problem. close it here.
