My setup is simple. I load my server like this python gevent_wsgi_server.py.
When I execute the /block endpoint multiple times, request is rendered sequentially in my browser. 5 seconds each.
I am doing the monkey patch in the server before anything. I think it has to do something with the time module which I imported inside my app.py. But then again, wondering why patching didn't work.
This is my Application
# app.py
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def hello():
return 'Hello, World! I am a flask app'
@app.route('/block')
def blocking_view():
import time; time.sleep(5)
return 'BLOCKING !'
This is the gevent WSGI server
# gevent_wsgi_server.py
from gevent import monkey; monkey.patch_all()
from gevent.pywsgi import WSGIServer
from app import app
if __name__ == "__main__":
wsgi_server = WSGIServer(("0.0.0.0", 8000), app)
wsgi_server.serve_forever()
