I did this as an exercise too, but not with channels. Here's my
version which uses only 2.4 style generators, no stackless needed
(__main__ part stolen from Hallgrímur):

#!/usr/bin/env python

def counter(i=1):
    while True:
        yield i
        i += 1

def filter(p, r):
    for x in r:
        if x % p:
            yield x

def sieve():
    c = counter(2)
    while True:
        p = c.next()
        yield p
        c = filter(p, c)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    if len(sys.argv) < 2:
        goal = 100
    else:
        goal = int(sys.argv[1])

    s = sieve()
    for i in xrange(goal):
        print s.next()
