Package: python-gevent Severity: normal Version: 1.0-2
Dear maintainer, I want to suggest using the ares DNS resolver in gevent by default on Debian. From http://gevent.org/whatsnew_1_0.html: """Two new DNS resolvers: threadpool-based one (enabled by default) and c-ares based one. That threadpool-based resolver was added mostly for Windows and Mac OS X platforms where c-ares might behave differently w.r.t system configuration. On Linux, however, the c-ares based resolver is probably a better choice. To enable c-ares resolver set GEVENT_RESOLVER=ares environment variable.
""" One nasty things that goes away when setting GEVENT_RESOLVER=ares is this:If you use gevent for DNS resolution everything works fine directly after application start. But when the DNS server address (/etc/resolv.conf) changes, then gevent would not notice that. Further DNS lookups end in Nirwana. With GEVENT_RESOLVER=ares, everything works smoothly on network changes (LAN -> WiFi / OpenVPN, etc.).
