The history as I remember it is that Christian tried hard to integrate the first versions of Stackless with CPython, but was turned town by python-dev.

Are there public records of that? As I remember it, Christian never actually submitted a patch for inclusion (at least not in public; he may have approached Guido in private). The oldest discussion I could find quickly is from August 2000 (Python 2.0 and Stackless); there, it was Ben Wolfson who asked whether it could be integrated. I also found a message where I said that it couldn't be integrated as-is, for a number of reasons I listed; I didn't mean to imply that it can never be integrated.

Regards, Martin
