Gevent instead of select()?

[est]

Hi,

First of all, awesome project! Thanks!

I was playing with it and find my gevent.monkey.patch_all() does not work, it turns out that a2s.py has its own select() based loop server. Can we create a protocol abstract and make it possible to adapt with non select() event loops?

Sounds reasonable, but what would be required in order to get it to work with something like gevent?

@Holiverh Maybe separate protocol with event system? E.g. Protocol yield chunks of byte streams, and event system using data = yield something to consume them. We can change to whatever event system in the future.

Hmm. Either way I'm probably gonna have to take a closer look at how gevent works before I could even attempt anything. And that'll take time so I can't foresee myself doing much with it soon. Of course I would be completely open to PRs and such if you want to take a stab at it and you've got some ideas of how it'd work.

Either way, I really appreciate the suggestion. 👍
