The future is not completely clear. PyPy does contain what is, as far as I know, a full stackless implementation. However it is incompatible with some of the most modern extensions of PyPy (notably the JIT), at least for now; it could be fixed in the future if there is interest. > Regardless I would like to end the talk with a brief section on PyPy. > I noticed the Stackless.py module in lib that contains the Stackless > implementation in Python. Yes, this is an implementation of Stackless Python on top of some lower-level mechanism provided natively in PyPy. It might give good opportunities for changes and experimentation, definitely. However, if you end up needing new features from the lower-level mechanism, you might have to look into 'pypy/module/_stackless' or 'pypy/rlib/coroutine.py'. (Changes in these parts require re-translating the pypy-c you are using, whereas changes in 'pypy/lib/*' do not.)
