pirate 0.01 ALPHA!

[Michal Wallace]

Tadaa!

Okay. I've done (almost) everything I can
do for python without jumping into C.
So here's a release!

http://pirate.tangentcode.com/

Check out the generator-based microthreads
demo. :) It's horribly slow, but it works!
And note the PARROT_INLINE function - a
nice little touch, I thought :)

Anyway, I'm going to shift focus to some of
my other projects for a few weeks, but I'll
be back in september. (And I'll still be
around if anyone has bug reports or patches)

Thanks everyone for helping me get this far!

Sincerely,

/me blinks at the list comprehensions.

Cool stuff. test_microthreads failed for
some reason I still need to look into, but
there's a lot of cool stuff working
already. Time for Dan to begin thinking
about which direction the pie will fly.

D'oh! :/ I didn't mean to include that.
It's really broken, because things get
lost when I invoke the continuation.

That's why the weightless.py has the two
PARROT_INLINE(...) macros in the generator
dispatch loop at the bottom.

The fix for the test is probably something
similar, but I'm not sure how to handle it.
I think the problem is some standard step
that needs to be done around .pcc_begin_yield
and .pcc_end_yield, but I haven't thought
it through completely.
