SocketIO makes Celery worker hang about flask-socketio

[miguelgrinberg]

This is probably due to the gevent monkey patching, see #55. I plan to remove monkey patching, the extension does not need it anyway. If you want to check if this does it, remove the first two lines in __init__.py.

Reading #55 and the linked spyoungtech/grequests#8, it seems this is likely the problem.

Yes, commenting out the first two lines, that is

from gevent import monkey
monkey.patch_all()

removes the problem. I assume this makes Flask-SocketIO dis-functional (haven't tried yet, will tomorrow). I think this is basically the same problem as #55. Also, sorry for the late reply.

@JanBenes: monkey patching is currently not needed by Flask-SocketIO, that is a left-over from an old version. Applications that depend on monkey-patching can always monkey-patch from their side. I'll go ahead and push an update.

Version 0.4.1 released. This version removes the monkey patching.

This works. Thanks!
