Description: ===========================================
        Evergreen: cooperative multitasking and i/o
        ===========================================
        
        Overview
        ========
        
        Evergreen is a cooperative multitasking and i/o library for Python. It provides equivalent primitives to
        those for thread programming, but uses a cooperative model instead.
        
        Operations are driven by an event loop which will run the given tasks and i/o operations in a non-blocking
        manner while presenting the user a synchronous, blocking API.
        
        Features:
        
        - Cooperative multitasking
        - Cooperative synchronization primitives: locks, events, queues, channels
        - Futures API (almost) compatible with the standard library
        - Cooperative versions of several standard library modules
        - Ability to monkey patch standard library modules to make them
          cooperative
        
        
        Running the test suite
        ======================
        
        There are several ways of running the test suite:
        
        - Running individual tests:
        
          Go inside the tests/ directory and run each individual test
        
        - Run the test with the current Python interpreter:
        
          From the toplevel directory, run: ``nosetests -v -w tests/``
        
        - Use Tox to run the test suite in several virtualenvs with several interpreters
        
          From the toplevel directory, run: ``tox -e py26,py27,py32, py33`` this will run the test suite
          on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3 (you'll need to have them installed beforehand)
