Why don't you use Stackless? It's very simple, stable, and solves quite completely the problems in writing concurrect code. That's a great point -- I'm not necessarily producing this to solve a problem I'm having. Rather, I think that the new language features in PEP 342 cry out for a batteries-included library that makes asynchronous programming both natural and easy. Of course Stackless isn't quite fully integrated with 2.5 (yet).

When did someone last suggest that Stackless become part of the core CPython implementation, and why didn't that ever happen?
