Indeed - Greenlets allows you to build the functionality you propose without having to change the language. > > For example, with Greenlets you would use the .switch() method of a > specific greenlet instance to switch to it, and with my python-native > threads you would use the global idle() function which would decide > for itself which thread to switch to. This is easy enough to build using greenlets today. I tried writing an experimental version of our generator scheduling system using greenlets rather than generators and found it to work very nicely. I'd suggest that if you really want this functionality (I can understand why) that you revisit greenlets - they probably do what you want.
