Hi Roman,
Stackless is a modified version of Python. This means that you need
to install or compile a Stackless binary, and run that. If you run it,
you will see something like:
Python 2.7.2 Stackless 3.1b3 060516 (default, Dec 21 2011, 14:36:04)
[MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
If you do not see the "Stackless" mention there, you are not running a
Stackless binary and are probably running a normal one you got
somewhere else.
Does it work with ipython? I have no idea what ipython is with regard
to python binaries, and unable to determine this information by
browsing the ipython web site. So the answer is: no idea.
The key is whether ipython needs a custom python binary. If ipython
can be run with a standard python binary from python.org, then it can
be run with the Stackless binary and should be fine. If ipython is a
modified version of python, like stackless, then it is unlikely to be
possible.
Cheers,
Richard.
