What is the issue with genshi?

What is the issue with genshi?

Sorry, that was an unrelated issue that has since been fixed. Removed it from the list!

See also #333 for Windows breakages.

Seems a new Genshi issue has popped up, see #333 (comment) and ff.

[gvanrossum]

Well, it wasn't a new genshi issue -- it's fixed in master but there's no release yet.

My greenlet PR is merged python-greenlet/greenlet#294 but there is no release yet.

Problem: it's unclear to me if gevent uses or can use the newer greenlet. It seems like greenlet got a new "v2" design which better hides its internals and CPython internals.

Currently, on PyPI, there are only greenlet 1.x releases. The master branch of greenlet is not released yet. Maybe we change should be re-done in a greenlet "stable" branch, I didn't check if it exists.

2.0.0a2 was released yesterday. I believe it includes your changes?

If so, we can just use that. pyperformance already using 2.0.0a1, currently.

The annoying thing is that the benchmarks don't actually use greenlet (it's just a required dependency of SQLAlchemy). For example, just using an old cached 3.11 wheel works fine. 🤦🏼‍♂️

@vstinner, do you want to bump the version in pyperformance, or should I?

[gvanrossum]

Maybe involve @ericsnowcurrently too? He recently (this week) did a bunch of work, but I’m not sure he is done. The psutil thing isn’t fixed on Windows, and —python is broken.

[vstinner]

I no longer maintain pyperformance.
