Sure. Some of my experience:
(yes, I'm using Stackless since a year now :-)

It works just *great* with wxPython. There are a few objects
which need a little care since they only live on the C stack
(mouse events for instance), but all in all it is wonderful
to use wxPython + Stackless (+ Boa Constructor + PIL + ...).
I have multiple dynamic widgets with animated graphical
content in my GUI, it is all running in a single thread,
and all my tasklets can update the GUI at any time, since
it is a single thread...

Let me know if you need sample code. Like a mouse handler,
written like a single, main program. No callbacks...
