### green threading library for C on top of libuv and PyPy's stacklet

This is just an experiment, only useful to benchmark things. See [gevent.h](gevent.h) for documentation.

### Python wrappers

For documentation on Python API see examples and tests in [python/](python/).

The channel performance (if it's indication of anything) is pretty good, only half as slow as Stackless (which uses soft-switching there I believe).
