Re: [Python-Dev] Hello everyone + little question around Cpython/stackless

Hello,

I'm currently studying all I can find on stackless python, PYPY and the concepts they've brought to Python, and so far I wonder : since stackless python claims to be 100% compatible with CPython's extensions, faster, and brings lots of fun stuffs (tasklets, coroutines and no C stack), how comes it hasn't been merged back, to become the standard 'fast' python implementation ?

I'm not sure Stackless ever claimed to be faster than CPython for standard tasks (i.e., not coroutine-related). Do you have any pointers to this? As for coroutines, the greenlets (*) package is said to bring them to the standard interpreter. (*) http://codespeak.net/py/dist/greenlet.html Regards Antoine.
