This is a deep misconception. Neither stackless nor greenlets work with PyPy. Instead, a special coroutine version was written for PyP's RPython, and then Stackless was written as an application module. There is a greenlet implementation as well. They both rely on the stack unwinding, which is not yet implemented for the Jit. The original greenlets and stackless have some similarities, since they use the same tricks to modify the stack in assembly. This is not related to PyPy, this reasoning is just the improper level. ciao - chris -- Christian Tismer :^)<mailto:[email protected]> tismerysoft GmbH : Have a break!
