If you have a scaling issue that may be solved by eventlet, that's
one thing, but please don't adopt eventlet just because a lot of
other projects have.  We've tried several times to minimize our
reliance on eventlet because new releases tend to introduce bugs.

Have you tried the 'threading' executor?
