Introduce grequests error report in django project about grequests

[spyoungtech]

This warning comes from gevent -- This happens if you import the ssl module (or import any other library that, at some point, imports ssl) before importing grequests. The warning was introduced in a recent version of gevent

For example:

# bad
import requests
import grequests

This raises the warning you see. It's a good warning, as this scenario will also lead to misbehavior in using grequests.

Instead, you want to try to make sure you import grequests first before other modules that use patched libraries.

#  OK
import grequests
import requests

Key takeaway: make sure that grequests is imported first.

It's also worth mentioning that grequests can have conflicts with other packages that use gevent (or even modules that gevent patches, in some cases). uWSGI could fall into this category, particularly if configured to use gevent. Though, it's not clear that's the case here.

Does this warning need to be dealt with?
Other modules are also using gevent, there is always one to import first, right?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's possible to say. Really, it depends...

It's hard to predict whether or not the monkey patching between libraries will be compatible... For better or worse, grequests uses gevent.monkey.patch_all(thread=False, select=False)

This may or may not be compatible with how other libraries expect things to be patched.

That said, grequests is generally intended to be used in a standalone fashion. It's best to not use it with other packages that also use gevent or rely on libraries that are patched by gevent.monkey.patch_all(thread=False, select=False) as they may not behave as expected.
