Concurrent tasklets in Stackless Python

Is there a way for multiple tasklets to run in parallel? I have been following the examples in http://members.verizon.net/olsongt/stackless/why_stackless.html but it seems that tasklets block for data or are scheduled and there is no way to run them concurrently. -- Thanks, Minesh Patel -- http

Re: ConfigParser and newlines
