There is a low-level stackless socket on the stackless website.  You would
have to manually build the HTTP stuff on top of that, so a rewrite might not
be worth it:

Steven,

Also note that a stackless version may or may not be faster than the normal
version, it will simply be more responsive.  Stackless doesn't run on
multiple CPUs or hyperthreads so you won't get any immediate speedup just by
using it.  It would help performance if (for example) one request hangs,
then other threadlets can be processed without the hanging request blocking
your application, which would not happen in the normal version of the code.
I wouldn't expect to see a dramatically general speedup though.  Apologies
if you already realized this.

-Grant
