[Stackless] Proposed modification WRT threading and scheduling

[Arnar Birgisson]

Hey there,

Richard, did you make this change already? Is it in the release

For some reason, my stackless wsgi server is not working as it should,
run() is exiting even though there is a tasklet waiting for the socket
accept.
