Server-Sent Events with Nginx and uWSGI

Is it possible to use server-sent events from a python/Flask application that is behind uWSGI and Nginx?

I've found packages that implement SSE in python/Flask, but they seem to all do so using gevent and greenlets.

Thanks!

Recent versions of uWSGI (from 1.9) have built-in support for websockets / SSE. This article provides an excellent guide:

can't you simply use gevent with uWSGI ?

Generally this kind of technologies should be used with async engines as the multithread/multiprocess paradigm would be too much costly.
