Description

As proven by libraries like psycopg2 it is possible to provide a way to integrate a C extension with gevent. This may or may not require cooperation on librdkafka's part but will provide a lot of value in terms of throughput and concurrency. Let's investigate on what's required in order to enable gevent support even with the C extension enabled.
