Hi Richard:

I believe Greenlets are at version 0.2 and I don't think they have been worked
on for a while. This probably does not have any significance to Stackless
Python but it may have a significance to PyPy.
To the best of my knowledge, PyPy supports soft switching only. However
greenlets use hard switching and stackless.py is built on top of greenlets. I
don't know if this means there is room for improvement in the PyPy world in
this regard.

Another advantage is that greenlets are good for prototyping. As per Carl
Bolz and Stephan Diehl's advice, I use greenlets in conjunction with
stackless.py and Standard Python to experiment with new features (i.e., select
- soon to become event handlers).
