Yes, NanoThreads are very different to Stackless. I was curious to see what the OP's requirements were, to determine if the requirement could possibly be implemented using NanoThreads. A NanoThread is not required to be a generator, it only has to look and work like a generator, which opens up the possibility of implementing a custom NanoThread using a normal Python class.
