It says it's 5 processes but eventually it will be 6 because you start the main in the end...
What's the difference between just forking with gevent.hubs?

I'm using gevent 1.0 on Mac Maverick, there's no _tcp_listener for gevent.baseserver, do you know why?

It has been moved to gevent.server in v1.0, so:

-from gevent.baseserver import _tcp_listener
+from gevent.server import _tcp_listener
