'module' object has no attribute 'poll'

[dsfdf]

My old vm uses 10.04 ubuntu so the default was 2.6.5, but we were using 0.13.7 which was relatively new. The latest is 0.13.8 if i am corrected.

We have been using

monkey.patch_all() the whole time. We now migrated to 2.7.3 on ubuntu 12.04

But when we use that, we get the error in the title. Basically, select cannot be patched out.

The same library `repoman` is used in other projects so it can't be the library itself. 

We pip install from requirements which are up-to-date with our previous vm, so the state should be the same.

Any idea why we are required to make `select=False`?

If we do make `select=False`, does it turn off any specific advantage of gevent? We are just using gevent.Greenlet right now. I assume when `thread=false`, we will not get the benefit of green thread, right?

Thanks.

gevent does not implement emulation of poll(), so monkey.patch_all()
removes it from select module.

You can disable this behavior by passing aggressive=False to
patch_all() or patch_select(). See monkey.py for details.

However, most libraries, subprocess.py included, check if poll is
present and switch to select() if it's not (search for has_poll in
subprocess.py).

The fact that it does not in your case most likely means that you
import subprocess after you monkey patch stdlib. Try to monkey patch
early and it should work.
