[Christian's plea]

It seems to me you need only two things:

(1) A constructor for new tasklets: t = tasklet(f)

(2) A way of switching to another tasklet:

t.transfer()

[snip]

All the other stuff you talk about -- passing values between tasklets, rings of runnable tasklets, scheduling policies, etc -- can all be implemented in Python on top of these primitives.

Unless you've got a way to detect or pass tasklet's through transfer, you don't have enough.
