[Python-Dev] Ann: Stackless Python 1.02

[Christian Tismer]

Stackless Python is a Python without C stack usage.
It allows for all kinds of non-local control flow.
For info see http://www.tismer.com/research/stackless/

Update for Stackless Python V. 1.02:

- passes all standard tests
- should work with Zope now (try...finally was incorrect)
- has a smart object destructor for really deeply nested stuff

The "5 percent speedup" is no longer there currently, since
the smart object destructor needs to be optimized into
the objects. It is not done in this test phase but will come.

Please visit the Stackless Python homepage at

Fact sheet, links to documentation, source and
binaries can be found there.
