Welcome! I'm in fact impressed of your interest!
On the other hand, I'm using Stackless myself, now.
And I find myself writing event handlers as simple,
endless lops, now. Look here, please:

"""
     def OnMouseEvents(self, event):
         if not self.graph:
             event.Skip()
             return
         # we must clone, since the C object dies
         # when we leave this stack.
         #dup = event.Clone()
         # oops, doesn't work either.
         # we need to unpack it all here :(
         class x: pass
         x.pos = event.GetPosition()
         x.enter = event.Entering()
         x.leave = event.Leaving()
         x.drag = event.Dragging()
         x.move = event.Moving()
         x.down1 = event.ButtonDown(1)
         if self.mouse:
             self.mouse.send(x)
         event.Skip()

     def mouseHandler(self):
         try:
             self._mouseHandler()
         except SystemExit, msg:
             print msg
         except Exception, e:
             print "mist", e
             print "killing handler"
             self.mouse = None
             raise

     def shutdown(self):
         self.cache = None
         if self.mouse:
             mouse = self.mouse
             self.mouse = None
             mouse.send_exception(SystemExit, "thanks for all the fish :-)")

     def _mouseHandler(self):
         last = None

         def true_rec():
             f=getcurrent().frame
             i = 0
             while f:
                 i += 1
                 f = f.f_back
             return i

         while 1:
             g = self.graph
             event = self.mouse.receive()
             if not g: continue

             x, y = event.pos.x, event.pos.y
             what = g.test(x, y)
             if what < 0:
                 self.SetCursor(self.CurHand)
             elif what == 0:
                 self.SetCursor(self.CurSize)
             else:
                 self.SetCursor(wxSTANDARD_CURSOR)
             if event.down1:
                 g.setSpot(x, y)
             if event.drag:
                 if what < 0:
                     # shift
                     # stay in a loop or we might miss
                     while event.drag:
                         if g.allowedShift(x, y):
                             g.shiftTo(x, y)
                             self.update()
                             if self.notify: self.notify()
                         event = self.mouse.receive()
                         x, y = event.pos.x, event.pos.y
                 elif what == 0:
                     # grow
                     while event.drag:
                         if g.allowedGrowth(x, y):
                             g.growTo(x, y)
                             self.update()
                             if self.notify: self.notify()
                         event = self.mouse.receive()
                         x, y = event.pos.x, event.pos.y
"""

This class implements a bitmap with some drawing upon it.
The drawing is not shown here, but it needs to complement
the existing bitmap. (circles/squares for selection)

Please, see this extremely simple event loop. This is a single
tasklet that stays waiting for mouse events, until it gets
blown by a SystemExit exception.
This is quite revealing. Now I can have program state in my
PC counter, as it was 20 years ago. The handler feels like
a main program.

As a side note, you can also see that I have to copy all relevant
mouse state into som etemp class. This is most probably
due to the fact (fault), that wxWindows keeps the mouse event
on its stack. When I use that in another tasklet, the result is bogus.
I will ask Robin to change that and do a proper copy.
Even event.Clone() doesn't help it.

But there is no free meal - ly y'rs - chris
