I just wrote this in plain Python 2.4.3, with plain old generators.
It was much easier to write and handles simultaneous Actor actions.

In Stackless this seems much more difficult (and I haven't even
completed the work yet). The big difference in flow here is that
plain generators yield control back to the caller, simply.

The Stackless scheduler with schedule, send and receive seems to
make this problem harder.

Is there an obvious flaw in my use of Stackless? (in Ticker5.py)

Can you implement Ticker7.py more elegantly Stackless?
