Requirements
------------

posthaste currently requires `gevent <http://www.gevent.org/>`_, which
in turn requires `greenlet <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/greenlet>`_ and
`libevent <http://libevent.org/>`_.

The "new" Gevent (as of this writing, 1.0 RC 2) alleviates the libevent
dependency and thus simplifies the process of using tool. More
information can be found on
`Github <https://github.com/surfly/gevent#installing-from-github>`_.
