Very cool. Stackless also seems to run web2py just fine with the included CherryPy server. At least playing here on the mac it seems like it's all working on my test sites.
This stackless Python is really interesting. I know that continuations are the mechanism that Seaside (on Smalltalk) uses to keep the server state for sessions. With Seaside, the URL looks like a UUID that represents the current state of a continuation, so a user can jump out and return later. Back button functionality works perfectly. Anyway, stackless gives Python first-class continuations just like Squeak Smalltalk.
