Is gevent holding you back from switching to Python 3?

3 points by jaddison ↗ HN
On Python's Wall of Shame/Superpowers[0], gevent[1] is the module that prevents me from moving my Python/Django web projects to Python 3.

For those of you who previously used gevent and have ported/migrated Python web projects to Python 3, have you simply refactored out gevent in favour of synchronous or asyncio-based code? Or have you found a good replacement/gevent fork?

Note that there is a new project that hasn't seen very much traction yet called guv[2] which aims to be a Python 3 gevent replacement. It's quite early however.
