I have checked in changes to the module in SVN to do this for UDP
sockets (well DGRAM).  Thanks! :-)

Yes, unfortunately it isn't really the place of Stackless to provide the
support which can enable people to use sockets synchronously within
tasklets.

It is possible that stacklesssocket can provide what you need but
it may take some additional work.  I would certainly appreciate the
chance to flesh out stacklesssocket.

If it is more important to you to just get things done, you might be
better off to look at using a networking framework which is known to
work with Stackless.  I do not have any personal knowledge of any
which do so without some other form of shenanigans involved.  However
there are some people on the list with experience mixing Stackless
with Twisted who might wish to help out if you choose to go that
direction.

I will be checking in some Twisted/Stackless examples into SVN.

Cheers,
Richard.
