You might be confusing Stackless Python with some other experiment in
multiprocessing from the early 2000's.  Stackless Python, like eventlet,
lets you write cooperative co-routines that can suspend their state; and
it does this by moving stack frames from the traditional C stack to the
heap instead.

But it does nothing about the Python interpreter's inability to use more
than one CPU core.
