I read on p6l about Python's continuations as a potential model for perl6 continuations about a month ago.	[reply]

The core python language doesn't support continuations. The Stackless Python fork does. See the list of python implementations for a summary.	[reply]

Taking anything on p6l as canon (or even correct) is a bit questionable. Python doesn't do continuations as part of the language, though as pointed out stackless python (which isn't really stackless, but that's a separate thing) does a form of them. Ruby, on the other hand, does do continuations. (As does Lisp, Scheme, and Unlambda, come to think of it)	[reply]

Well sure, but the python continuation thing was on a python list and I figured that meant it was ok information. Ah well.	[reply]
