New Tutorial for Stackless Python

Grant Olson posted to the Stackless mailing list about a tutorial he has written. Along with a general introduction to Stackless, it includes comparisons with thread-based approaches and PyGame examples.

Stackless Python for Python 2.5c1

Stackless Python has finally caught up to the first release candidate of Python 2.5, and for those who wish to use it and will not be compiling it themselves from the source code in SVN, preliminary Windows binaries have been made available.

Stackless Python for Python 2.5c2

I decided to spend my lunch hour looking into a Stackless crash bug today (to do with threading and tasklet killing when the interpreter exits). But after not being able to reproduce it I ended up using some work time to port Stackless to the new release of 2.5, release candidate 2.

For those who wish to use it and will not be compiling it themselves from the source code in SVN, I have made available new Windows binaries.

Stackless Python in EVE, part 2

At PyCon this year, Kristjan Valur Jonsson gave a presentation on the development of StacklessIO as a networking solution for EVE Online. Both the presentation slideshow and the video made of the presentation, when Kristjan gave it, are available online.

Stackless Python for Python 2.6.2

Stackless Python for Python 2.6.2 is now available. As always, you can obtain the source from the SVN repository. If you use Windows and want precompiled binaries, you can find them here as always.

Thanks to the Python Software Foundation

In order to build version of Python and extensions for it on Windows in a way that is compatible with the officially released binaries, specific versions of Visual Studio need to be used. The free versions of these versions of Visual Studio provide a wide range of functionality, but unfortunately not all the functionality needed to maintain, build and release installers for Stackless Python.

Steve Holden on behalf of the P.S.F. has kindly arranged for MSDN licenses for a selection of developers who help contribute to Windows Python environments. One of these MSDN licenses has been obtained on behalf of Stackless Python.

Thanks Steve!

How to try Stackless Python on Linux without installing it?

Péter Szabó has released Static Python. You can also read a blog post he has written on how to use it, or the following quote from the project site: StaticPython is a statically linked version of the Python 2.x (currently 2.7) and Stackless Python 2.x interpreters and their standard modules for 32-bit Linux systems (i686, i386). It is distributed as a single, statically linked 32-bit Linux executable binary, which contains the Python scripting engine, the interactive interpreter with command editing (readline), the Python debugger (pdb), most standard Python modules (including pure Python modules and C extensions), coroutine support using greenlet and multithreading support. The binary contains both the pure Python modules and the C extensions, so no additional .py or .so files are needed to run it. It also works in a chroot environment. The binary uses uClibc, so it supports username lookups and DNS lookups as well (without NSS). StaticPython is similar to Portable Python, except that StaticPython runs on Linux instead of Windows, and it has Stackless Python support.
