This sounds neat! I just came back from Pycon 2008 and
I was asked about how I would go about having
Stackless support multiple CPUs. I also attended a
open session on multi-processor support in Python.

I have to find a computer with multiple CPUs, but I
would be interested in trying this out.

Sounds like really cool work Carlos!

Cheers,
Andrew
