Could you be a little more specific on what you're looking for?
Continuations are a big can of worms.

In general, some of the historical uses of continuations are better
represented as classes in python.  Generators provide some limited
functionality as well, and will be able to send info both ways in
python 2.5 to enable limited co-routines.  Stackless python allows you
to *really* suspend the stack at a given time and do a bunch of crazy
stuff, but doesn't currently support 'full continuations'.
