Tasklets run +pseudo-concurrently (typically in a single or a few OS-level threads) +and are synchronized with data exchanges on "channels". + +Greenlets are provided as a C extension module for the regular +unmodified Python interpreter. + +Greenlets are lightweight coroutines for in-process concurrent +programming. |
