faust-aioeventlet 0.6

This is a fork of [aioeventlet](https://github.com/magma/deb-python-aioeventlet) that contains some patches for more recent versions of Python used in the Magma project. It is not maintained except for ensuring compatibility with Magma.

aioeventlet implements the asyncio API (PEP 3156) on top of eventlet. It makes possible to write asyncio code in a project currently written for eventlet.

aioeventlet allows to use greenthreads in asyncio coroutines, and to use asyncio coroutines, tasks and futures in greenthreads: see link_future() and wrap_greenthread() functions.

The main visible difference between aioeventlet and trollius is the behaviour of run_forever(): run_forever() blocks with trollius, whereas it runs in a greenthread with aioeventlet. It means that aioeventlet event loop can run in an greenthread while the Python main thread runs other greenthreads in parallel.
