Recursion bug in python3.6 and gevent.monkey.patch_ssl()

[rossengeorgiev]

Continuation from #95

Only in python 3.6 and when using SteamClient, which uses gevent.

Happens when the gevent monkey patches are applied after importing requests module. gevent might have a fix in a future release

code to reproduce

import requests
import gevent.monkey
gevent.monkey.patch_ssl()
requests.get("https://google.com")

Work around

Do the gevent monkey patch before any other code or imports. So at the very top:

import gevent.monkey
gevent.monkey.patch_socket()
gevent.monkey.patch_ssl()

Can confirm that this affects python3.8 too.

Also, the workaround is problematic if you're deploying in Lambdas and using Serverless Framework as they init SSL before you have an opportunity to monkey patch. Any help would be appreciated.
