[Twisted-Python] Stackless.py and Twisted

[Daniel Griffin]

I dont know if twisted can really be counted as a scheduler. Its purpose is
more to do with nonblocking IO. To improve IO performance in stackless you
would need to add multiplexing to its scheduler(if it doesnt already have
it). http://eventlet.net/ seems to to this.
