[Python-Dev] Stackless Python - Pros and Cons

[Jack Jansen]

Could the defenders of Stackless Python please explain _why_ this is
such a great idea? Just and Christian seem to swear by it, but I'd
like to hear of some simple examples of programming tasks that will be 
programmable in 50% less code with it (or 50% more understandable
code, for that matter).

And, similarly, could the detractors of Stackless Python explain why
it is such a bad idea. A lot of core-pythoneers seem to have
misgivings about it, even though issues of compatability and
efficiency have been countered many times here by its champions (at
least, it seems that way to a clueless bystander like myself). I'd
really like to be able to take a firm standpoint myself, that's part
of my personality, but I really don't know which firm standpoint at
the moment:-)
