Extra Packages

Some Gunicorn options require additional packages. You can use the [extra] syntax to install these at the same time as Gunicorn.

Most extra packages are needed for alternate worker types. See the design docs for more information on when you’ll want to consider an alternate worker type.

• gunicorn[eventlet] - Eventlet-based greenlets workers
• gunicorn[gevent] - Gevent-based greenlets workers
• gunicorn[gthread] - Threaded workers
• gunicorn[tornado] - Tornado-based workers, not recommended

If you are running more than one instance of Gunicorn, the proc_name setting will help distinguish between them in tools like ps and top.

• gunicorn[setproctitle] - Enables setting the process name

Multiple extras can be combined, like pip install gunicorn[gevent,setproctitle].
