@micwoj92, right, the end user might not notice a difference in general use. However, applications specifically developed for Stackless will only run with Stackless, not with the default Python interpreter.

If you were wondering whether this package can provide python2, the answer is yes. All the additions are designed to build on top of the base Python, offering backward compatibility.

So, if you just need python2, you can use either python2 or stackless2. But if you specifically need stackless2, or require both python2 and stackless2, then you should use stackless2.

And seeing that both python2 and this stackless project are no longer developed it seems that this package was uploaded dead on arrival.

I see that this is only programmer's benefit, I meant more: Does this package have any benefit if using as a replacement for programs that depend on python2.

@micwoj92, see the first paragraph of the upstream URL.

What are benefits of this over python2?
