The problem actually is *not* trivial because
Stackless blocks on synchronous calls.

I believe someone wrote a WSGI based server that works
with Stackless.

Look at Richard Tew's MUD example to see how to work
with asyncore.

There are quite a few examples using the
StacklessSocket module.

Myself, I use Twisted to make tasklets do network I/O.
If you are working with protocols like HTTP, consider
using Twisted.

Look at Christoper Armstrong's blockOn example:

Also look in the Stackless Google repository for more
examples.
