This has come up over here. We have been thining, for example, that tasklets should be able themselves to break out of "run", withough the currently hacky way of stackless.main.run() Also, some sort of "break" callback which can be called regularly to see if we ought to break, rather than rely on this weird "instruction count" thingie.
In fact, with some slight modifications to stackless, it ought to be possible to write your own scheduler in a simple way. (The problem is that tasklet.run() leaves the caller runnable. Something like tasklet.run(remove=true) would be helpful as an atomic switching operation, allowing one to write one's own scheduler.) I wrote something like this once, can post the source if anyone is interested.
