Research direction

Start with the gevent section of the client tutorial at the linked documentation URL and review the linked reproduction gist. Done means the tutorial clearly explains whether gevent.monkey.patch_all() is required and the example no longer leaves that prerequisite implicit.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When using geventclient from ws4py as shown in tutorial, it blocks and doesn't let other greenlets to run.
Tutorial example: https://ws4py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sources/clienttutorial/#gevent
Test to reproduce issue: https://gist.github.com/fried-sausage/0c645be0677359d70f72024b1d7a3e9b
mad_printer never gets a chance to run.
The solution for me was to add gevent.monkey.patch_all().
It is never mentioned in tutorial that user should monkey patch, however.
