how to test

1. Create two virtualenv named normalpip and parallelpip.
2. Install envoy, gevent in both the env(pip install envoy gevent)
3. . normalpip/bin/activate
4.clone the code and name as core.py.
5.python core.py normal flask requests
6. . parallelpip/bin/activate
7.python core.py parallel flask requests

The parallel version gives me errors when I run with many dependencies that have a common set of transitive dependencies. The error pops up when multiple projects try to simultaneously installed a transitive dependency. Any ideas how to alleviate/fix that problem?
