I think that should be done in a third-party module. But hey, if Guido wants to maintain another module...

Right, like now. CPython has the necessary stackless hooks, nuts and bolts, but nothing else, and no speed impact.

Then is just happens to be possible to write such an extension, and it will be written, but this is no language feature.

I'd got further and say "do not make continuations a standard language feature"

This was my sentence, in the first place, but when reviewing the message, I could not resist to plug that in again <1.5 wink>

As discussed in a private thread with Just, some continuation features can only be made "nice" if they are supported by some language extension. I want to use Python in CS classes to teach them continuations, therefore I need a backdoor :-)
