Improving performance with Stackless Python
- pavelbr 8y agoThis isn't mine, it's just a neat thing I found. If you don't want to download it, you can play around with it on TIO: https://tio.run/##TY3BCgIxDETP7lfk2AorFm/CfkypKQa7aUnSw359d0VEH8xhHgPTNntWvs1qMb0Kqg5aWxUD3XQ6clE0wdRFqXKhlcyF6xc/Hpghx2RVKBbH/j6dBK0LQwDKwMsSAIsi8PlvNgc/mhCb@8l3I27dnD8Yn5Md https://tio.run/##TY3BCgIxDETP7lfk2AorFm/CfkypKQa7aUnSw359d0...
- mattbillenstein 8y agoHow does stackless work with the library ecosystem vs things like gevent?
- pavelbr 8y agoI don't know about gevent, but stackless will work with any libraries in the same way CPython does, which makes sense given it's just a fork. Native extensions obviously won't benefit from stackless but still work with it. Exceptions and threads don't mix well however, so using Stackless' microthreads with code that relies on exceptions will likely lead to slowdown, so there are a few things to be aware of.
