* Package name : python-greenlet Version : 0.2 Upstream Author : Bob Ippolito <b...@redivi.com> * URL : http://undefined.org/python/#greenlet * License : MIT Programming Lang: C Description : lightweight in-process concurrent programming The "greenlet" package is a spin-off of Stackless, a version of CPython that supports micro-threads called "tasklets". Tasklets run pseudo-concurrently (typically in a single or a few OS-level threads) and are synchronized with data exchanges on "channels". . A "greenlet", on the other hand, is a still more primitive notion of micro-threads with no implicit scheduling; coroutines, in other words. This is useful when you want to control exactly when your code runs. You can build custom scheduled micro-threads on top of greenlet; however, it seems that greenlets are useful on their own as a way to make advanced control flow structures. . Greenlets are provided as a C extension module for the regular unmodified interpreter. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
