Stackless Python

[Pavel]

In case anyone cares about what I mentioned today:
an interpreter for python which does not use the stack at all: http://www.stackless.com/
and here is the example I tried to outline which works with stackless: http://members.verizon.net/olsongt/stac ... coroutines

and here are some other intresting stuff for those bored by jikes
PyPy: like jikes: python in python: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/
Unladen Swallow: a JIT for python: http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallo ... rojectPlan

Edit:
the example above uses channels in stackless, so It does nor really work unchanged. But I think it should work with the interpreter presented in the lecture.

Hi, we Jikes people aren't that ignorant ; thus, I'd like to through a nice reference into the ring: RPython: a Step Towards Reconciling Dynamically and Statically
Typed OO Languages http://www.lst.inf.ethz.ch/research/pub ... S_2007.pdf. I think this paper makes a number of interesting points and is well worth a read.
