Has anyone used Stackless Python in production yet?
- peller 13y agoAccording to Wikipedia, at least the Eve Online MMO uses it quite heavily, as well as an IronPython Mail client thingy. For whatever that's worth.
- oddur 13y agoAs a programmer on the EVE team for the last 7 years, I would not recommend it at this point in time. Stackless is a fork of CPython, maintained by a small number of people. I'd rather look at pypy which has stackless support: http://pypy.org/features.html#stackless http://pypy.org/features.html#stackless and is under active development. Or look at golang which has the same type of primitives(microthreads, channel based communication and scheduling) built in.
- jaytaylor 13y agoI've searched extensively for years for something python-based which enables actual multi-core concurrency.. and after spending one week with golang, I strongly prefer go compared to anything I've found with python- multiprocess, stackless, pypy, etc. None of them let you reap the benefits of hardware like coroutines with communication channels in golang.
- ef4 13y agoSeveral years ago I was using it in production at a major CDN. I would assume they still use it.
