This is somewhat disappointing. Python's lack of full-fledged coroutines is most of what keeps me using Lua.

- dalke 16y agoAnd you don't want to use Stackless Python because ... ?
- yummyfajitas 16y agoI was going to suggest that Stackless is dead, given that I haven't heard any news about it. But that would have been foolish of me: http://zope.stackless.com/Members/rmtew/News%20Archive/3.1.3 http://zope.stackless.com/Members/rmtew/News%20Archive/3.1.3
- TillE 16y agoAs far as I know, they haven't developed any significant new features (does it need any?) in a long long time, so in that sense it's not an "active" project. But they're usually quick to port their patchset to each new Python version.
- dalke 16y agoIt adds coroutines to Python. What more do you need? It runs every other Python package, it tracks new Python releases perfectly, which means its "significant new features" are identical to Python's significant new features. What would an "active" version of the project look like?
- njharman 16y agostackless is actively used by mmorpg EvE Online
- SoftwareMaven 16y agoThere is also continued work on coroutines (based on Stackless) in Pypy: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/stackless.html http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/stackless.html
- anonymoushn 16y agoThanks, I'll check this out in addition to stackless.
- sigzero 16y agoSo keep using Lua? Langauges choices are all about that...choice.
- Locke1689 16y agoMeh, I could nitpick at the language all day but I still use it. Call/cc probably isn't happening anytime soon.
