""" Wrappers to make file-like objects cooperative. .. class:: FileObject The main entry point to the file-like gevent-compatible behaviour. It will be defined to be the best available implementation. There are two main implementations of ``FileObject``. On all systems, there is :class:`FileObjectThread` which uses the built-in native threadpool to avoid blocking the entire interpreter. On UNIX systems (those that support the :mod:`fcntl` module), there is also :class:`FileObjectPosix` which uses native non-blocking semantics. A third class, :class:`FileObjectBlock`, is simply a wrapper that executes everything synchronously (and so is not gevent-compatible). It is provided for testing and debugging purposes. Configuration ============= You may change the default value for ``FileObject`` using the ``GEVENT_FILE`` environment variable. Set it to ``posix``, ``thread``, or ``block`` to choose from :class:`FileObjectPosix`, :class:`FileObjectThread` and :class:`FileObjectBlock`, respectively. You may also set it to the fully qualified class name of another object that implements the file interface to use one of your own objects. .. note:: The environment variable must be set at the time this module is first imported.
