2) That will affect code reusability a lot, because we can't mix cocalls and calls.
All this issues are solved with greenlet library and I think if Python needs cooperative threads they should have API and behave like greenlets.
As far as I understand, the only way Stackless and the like can make things "transparent" is that they monkey-patch core socket functionality (and perhaps other critical built-in functionalities). "Soft" cooperative multithreading isn't naturally transparent, which makes it quite different from OS-level multithreading. Regards Antoine.
