After all, greenlet is a C extension module.  Hopefully this would provide a base line for work to be required? I am trying this but I am having a few hiccups getting setup.py to do the right thing. Since I am a newbie, I would like to know what is wrong with this line of reasoning?

PyPy's internal representation of frames differs from that of CPython.
How does greenlet determine how much of the stack to copy?
