ANNOUNCING:
Stackless Python 1.2
A Python Implementation That
Does Not Use The C Stack
* plus the real toy *
Continuation Module 0.9
Continuations as First Class Objects
with support for MicroThreads
What is it?
A plugin-replacement for core Python.
It should run any program which runs under Python 1.5.2 .
But it does not need space on the C stack.

Major changes in this release:
Extra reference counting reduces continuation frame creation
Better exception handling avoids cycles.
Next to come:
- A port to Python 2.0 will be the first thing to do.
- Long-term project is a complete redesign and
rewrite for inclusion with Python 2.1
