A rough idea would be to start the whole interpreter in suspendable mode. Maybe that's too much. I'm seeking a way to tell a whole bunch of functions that they should be suspendable.

I'm not sure it's really feasible to do that. It seems easy enough at first sight, but keep in mind that it would only work for pure Python code called directly from other pure Python code. There are many corners where it wouldn't work -- all the operator methods, for example, and anything else called through a type slot -- unless you went to a *lot* of work to provide alternative suspendable versions of all the type slots. -- Greg
