[sldev] Getting started with eventlet and spawning...

(Yes I am spending Christmas Eve on exactly this...  :)

So, I'm trying to set started porting an existing wsgi application I've
written.  The existing app uses Twisted and runs under CherryPy's wsgi
server.  I thought eventlet and spawning would be a nice replacement for
twisted and cherrypy respectively.

But I'm having trouble.  The example from the docs for downloading three
pages works fine.  But when I try and embed the example as a wigi app I
can't make it work.  I've tried a bunch of variations, but here's the
current one.

#!/usr/bin/env python

urls = ["http://www.google.com",
        "http://wiki.secondlife.com",
        "http://us.i1.yimg.com"]

import time
from eventlet import coros, httpc, util
from webob import Request, Response

def fetch(url):
    print "%s fetching %s" % (time.asctime(), url)
    x = httpc.get(url)
    print x
    print "%s fetched %s" % (time.asctime(), url)

def FetchApp(environ, start_response):
    util.wrap_socket_with_coroutine_socket()
    pool = coros.CoroutinePool(max_size=4)
    waiters = []
    for url in urls:
        waiters.append(pool.execute(fetch, url))
    for waiter in waiters:
        waiter.wait()
    resp = Response("done")
    return resp(environ, start_response)


Now when I run this as:
% spawn test_eventlet.FetchApp

and then I make a request with my web browser, I get the folowing output:

What at I doing wrong?
