The important thing is that the explicit modelling of the call-stack allows for running interpreters to be pickled - and thus stopped, persisted, reloaded and restarted. That is especially useful in comlex AI-code or e.g. workflow environments. The big difference is that you can _code_ as if you were always running and totally neglect the persistence and reentering issues. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
