Mostly for my own curiosity, I'm working on a PEP-342-based microthreading library with a similar api to threads and threading (coalesced into a single module). It uses coroutines and a trampoline scheduler, and provides basic async wrappers for common IO operations.
It's not a framework/environment like Twisted or Kamaelia -- it's just a microthreading library with some solid primitives. My thinking is that this would be the "next level" for apps which currently use asyncore. I won't go into a lot of detail on the module, because (a) it's not even nearly done and (b) my question is higher-level than that. Is there any interest in including a simple microthreading module in Python's standard library? If this sounds like a terrible idea, let fly the n00b-seeking missiles. If it sounds better than terrible, I'll keep working and post a reasonable prototype soon (a PEP would also be in order at some point, correct?).
