Does gunicorn + gevent monkey patch threadlocals to be greenlet-locals automatically?


When running gunicorn in gevent mode, are the monkey patches (particularly those for threadlocals) described here, which make threadlocals greenlet-locals, already applied automatically?

(I am running django and currently use threadlocals for a bit of fast-caching of large query results -- I understand gevent/greenlet uses an alternative model to traditional threading, thus my concern).


Solution

  • It appears that I have no things to worry about:
