[Stackless] New Stackless Beta

Hi friends,

a new beta of Stackless Python is released.
The source is at the moment available via
public CVS, only.
PC binaries and how to access CVS can be found at

http://www.stackless.com

What's new?
Tasklet flags have been re-worked a lot. They should be
always updated correctly, now.
The schedule() protocol has changed very much, internally.
This made it possible to write a tasklet.raise_exception
which works in any context, while waiting in a channel
or being currently run.

Very soon to come: tasklet.kill(), implemented by raise_exception.
But there is one feature missing for a clean kill():
Tasklets will get notifiers, which make it possible to
ask for an event like "tell me when this tasklet has died".
Together with notifiers, waiting on a set of channels will
be implemented, soon, in a very effective manner.
Also in preparation:
"A practical guide to Stackless Python", written by me.
It will contain general information and a number of examples,
like "how to make wxPython stackless" and more.

watch out - ciao - chris
