Broken pipe from gevent/pywsgi.py

[Larry Martell]

I have a python server that has this in the main:

from gevent import pywsgi

try:
    httpd = pywsgi.WSGIServer(('0.0.0.0', 8000), app)
    httpd.serve_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass

Recently we began getting HTTPError: 504 Server Error: Gateway
Time-out on requests to the server. Looking in the logs I saw this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Once this occurs it seems that no further requests are served. I
googled this and found many places where people said this was
happening, and many places where people explained why it was
happening, but no place did I find a way to fix or workaround this.

Does anyone know how to get it to continue processing after this occurs?
