I don't really care which version should be 'ported' to 2.0. Actually, I do
a bit: the newest version would be best, I think ;) But I'm not sure what
the difference between 1.1 and 1.2 is.

Not really. I do not have any experience with 1.5.2, except for the
occasional bughunt in modules.

Exactly.

Well, I think that would give me at least a clear idea as to how Stackless
works. My main problem is that, though I understand the split of eval_code2
into a _setup and _loop functions, I still don't understand which parts of
standard Python are 'stackful' and should be fixed. Reading the code for one
way of dealing with those 'stackful' parts is not the best way to find out
what parts they are ;)

Alternatively, depending on the age of the CVS tree on which SLP 1.2 is
based, I could incorporate the ceval changes (and the rest, probably) by
hand... If you still have CVS tag/revisions for the files in question that
would be even simpler, I think. Did you ever try doing something like 'cvs
update' on your SLP tree, by the way ?
