Thrift + Stackless Python

Hi

Has anyone considered writing a server using Stackless Python? Looking  
at the existing options  
(SimpleServer,ThreadedServer,ThreadPool,ForkServer), Fork is tempting  
because it doesn't affect using the GIL and is more scalable but the  
base python doesn't have erlang type concurrency with message passing.  
I would be interested if anyone has thoughts? Our application is  
needing to have a dedicated thread for a persistent database pool, and  
having something like Stackless could be interesting when passing  
messages to tasklets.
