Stackless Python Description

Enhanced version of the Python programming language Stackless Python is a free and enhanced version of the Python programming language that will allow programmers to reap the benefits of thread-based programming without the performance and complexity problems associated with conventional threads. The microthreads that Stackless adds to Python are a cheap and lightweight convenience which can if used properly, give the following benefits:· Improved program structure.· More readable code.· Increased programmer productivity. Here are some key features of "Stackless Python": · Microthreads. Tasklets wrap functions allowing them to be launched as microthreads. · Channels. Channels can be used for bidirectional communication between tasklets. · Scheduling. A round robin scheduler is built in. It can be used to schedule tasklets either cooperatively or preemptively. · Serialisation. Tasklets can be serialised to disk through pickling for later resumption of execution.
