Does this mean that the implementation of Stackless 3.0 could be acceptable to integrate into CPython 2.5? It would be absolutely wonderful to have those capabilities available in the standard distribution!
Probably not. Stackless 3.0 works only on selected hardware; a number of platforms currently supported by Python would not be supported anymore. An implementation of stackless python should work on all platforms (atleast on those currently supported by Python).
Although I don't particularly agree with that, because Stackless functionality could be turned on and off with a platform dependent configure flag (like threads or unicode)... Is there a canonical list of CPU architectures and platforms that Python officially supports? -bob
