I believe to move the tasklet to another machine, it would probably be best to first detach the tasklet from the channel with a __reduce__ and __setState__

see this page for details: http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Pickling

As a precaution, I would also make sure that no other objects had a reference to the tasklet after it was serialised.

When you deserialise the tasklet, reattach it to a channel, using __reduce__ and __setState__.

Cheers,
Andrew
