Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

DatabaseWrapper

✓ from django_db_geventpool import DatabaseWrapper

✗ from django_db_geventpool.backends.postgresql import DatabaseWrapper

Basic usage: monkey-patch gevent early, then use Django ORM normally. Pool is automatically used if DATABASES configuration includes OPTIONS with pool settings.

import os os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myproject.settings') import django django.setup() from django.db import connection cursor = connection.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT 1") print(cursor.fetchone()) # Ensure gevent is patched early; use gevent.monkey.patch_all() before importing django

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 4.0.0 dropped support for Django < 3.1. Version 4.0.8 drops support for Django < 4.2. Upgrade your Django version if you're on an older release.

fix

Upgrade Django to >=4.2, and use django-db-geventpool >=4.0.8.

affects: <=4.0.0

gotchaYou must call gevent.monkey.patch_all() before importing any Django modules, including settings. Otherwise, database connections will not be patched and may deadlock.

fix

Place 'import gevent.monkey; gevent.monkey.patch_all()' as the very first lines of your application entry point (e.g., wsgi.py, manage.py).

affects: all

gotchaWhen using psycopg3 (psycopg package), ensure you set 'ENGINE': 'django_db_geventpool.backends.postgresql_psycopg2' even if using psycopg3. The pool backend is the same; psycopg3 support is enabled via the driver setting.

fix

Use ENGINE as shown in the docs and set 'OPTIONS': {'psycopg3': True} in your DATABASES config.

affects: >=4.0.3

deprecatedDirect import of backends from django_db_geventpool is deprecated. Use Django's default engine paths with custom OPTIONS instead.

fix

Configure DATABASES as documented, e.g. 'ENGINE': 'django_db_geventpool.backends.postgresql_psycopg2'.

affects: >=4.0
