This file is included into docs/history.rst + + +Greenlets are lightweight coroutines for 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-thread 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. For example, we can recreate +generators; the difference with Python's own generators is that our +generators can call nested functions and the nested functions can +yield values too. (Additionally, you don't need a "yield" keyword.
