I haven't seen those posts but a lack of a select does not cripple Stackless.
That is silly. Still I believe select makes it easier to
write clutter free event handlers.
Since I want to get into PyPy and believe PyPy Stackless.py provides
interesting opportunities for prototyping new features (i.e., experimenting
with new scheduling algorithms), what I would like to do sometime next month:
1) Try to put Kristjan's changes into the PyPy Stackless.py module. I don't
think that module has been worked on since 2007. Of course this would start of
as a private copy of mine.
2) Write a scheduler.select() : I believe it is easier if you have the
scheduler's help.
3) If I can pick up enough of tool chain, see if I can write select as a
language feature.
Cheers,
Andrew
