Philip J. Eby has provided a patch for the implementation of PEP 342. This means that the chances of Python having coroutines in the future are very good.

And that, in turn, means that Python will get a - albeit primitive - form of continuations. Now all that's missing is for something like statesaver to be integrated into Python - for multishot continuations (ok, first just copyable coroutines, but that would be a start at least).

All of this, of course, just to finally be able to work with continuations in web frameworks. Ok, it's already possible with CherryFlow, but it would be nice if all of this would make it into mainstream Python.
