[Stackless] Question about Channel Queue attribute

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

There is no "correct" behaviour, since this isn't defined by some specification somewhere.
In C stackless, tasklets are linked together using their "next" attribute.  This is used to implement the runnable queue and also the queue for the tasklets.  The channel's "queue" slot simply holds a reference to the first tasklet in the queue.

To get all the tasklets, use this:
def GetQueue(channel):
	first = task = channel.queue
	result = []
	while task:
		result.append(task)
		task = task.next
		if task is first: break
	return result


I expect that the channels are differently implemented in PyPy, perhaps using a Deque, so that is what queue returns for that implementation.
