Hi, sorry to intrude here.
I looked at Kamaelia (Axon actually) recently and I liked it,
what I did miss in the code (maybe I just did not find it) is a blocking 
way for send-ing and recv-ing from in/outboxes that the scheduler is 
aware of.
It seems as though all components basically have to do busy waiting now.

So do you plan on including a kind of scheduler-aware blocking 
communication (like the `channels` of the `tasklets` in stackless)?

(as you have a postman already - not a bad idea i think if you compare 
with multi-agent-systems theory (see jade) - it could be responsible for 
alerting the scheduler of box.has_data)

Cheers,
Stefan
