Why gevent on a Flask app with Apache + mod_wsgi is raising NotImplementedError?

I'm having an issue deploying my Flask app with Apache (mod_wsgi) and gevent on a shared hosting (Webfaction).

The application works fine in the development server provided by Flask, but when I try to deploy it I get the following error in log file:

[Tue Mar 13 15:48:24 2012] [error] Traceback (most recent call last):
[Tue Mar 13 15:48:24 2012] [error]   File "evdns.pxi", line 78, in gevent.core.__evdns_callback (gevent/core.c:6300)

[Tue Mar 13 15:48:24 2012] [error] NotImplementedError: gevent is only usable from a single thread

I need gevent because I'm using the python-requests' async module to make concurrent HTTP requests. I tried to Google around but the only advice I found is to to call

from gevent import monkey
monkey.patch_all()

something that I already do in my code.

The value of WSGIDaemonProcess is:

WSGIDaemonProcess myapp processes=5 python-path=/home/myusername/webapps/myapp/lib/python2.7 threads=1

Here is my httpd.conf: http://pastebin.com/eWygicJH

Anybody has any advice to solve this issue?
