Thanks for your reply.

Just one thing that I don't get.
What do you mean by 'implicit taskswitching' ?
There is no such thing in greenlet, if you really meant that
Library from Armin Rigo.

greenlets do everything explicitly, no pre-emption at all.

So, is there a general understanding what a greenlet is and what not?
Just to make sure that the discussed terms are clearly defined.
