Yes,

I think I have done similar work with libevent stackless and Pyrex
for Concurrence (http://opensource.hyves.org/concurrence/)

I have taken much care to never ever call back from C into Python explicitly
to prevent hard switching. One of the things I did was to heavily
modify pyevent to
not raise IO event trough callbacks into python.

grtz,

Henk
