+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".
+
+Greenlets are provided as a C extension module for the regular
+unmodified Python interpreter.
+
+Greenlets are lightweight coroutines for in-process concurrent
+programming.
