Only Christian could answer that question to give you an authoritative answer.

The natural Pythonic way to create this relation, would be to use weak
references taking advantage of the callbacks they provide, to detect
when a tasklet exits and is cleaned up.

Of course, generally people need to wrap functions that are passed to
newly started tasklets so that any exceptions raised within them that
are not TaskletExit related, are not raised out of the scheduler
interrupting it.  But that fits in with the general theme of Stackless
being a barebones framework which people need to do a minimal amount
of work with to make best use of it.

Cheers,
Richard.
