[Twisted-Python] RE: [Stackless] Maximum Recursion Depth Error with Twisted 8.2/Stackless 2.6.1

[Andrew Francis]

Hi Kristjan:

Thanks for the explanation and the effort. Tomorrow, I'll hunt down a few things on my end. If you find ToyProcessor5 too convoluted, I'll post the code for another prototype that should be easier to follow.

Cheers,
Andrew
