[Python-Dev] Stackless Python - Pros and Cons

[Jeremy Hylton]

Gordon,

Thanks for channeling Christian, if that's what writing a PEP on this
entails :-).

I am also a little puzzled about the subject of the PEP.  I think you
should hash it out with Barry "PEPmeister" Warsaw.  There are two
different issues -- the stackless implementation and the new control
structure exposed to programmers (e.g. continuations, coroutines,
iterators, generators, etc.).  It seems plausible to address these in
two different PEPs, possibly in competing PEPs (e.g. coroutines
vs. continuations).
