Yes, I saw this and tried some quick hacks to see if
I can get around it, but the following is much worse
and really hurts:

Incredibly bad! Bad style, even worse, bad for me.
I change my question to:
What patterns beyond the
Python -> Tcl -> Python -> Tcl
scenario are thinkable?
I already spent 14 hours on this. I'm happy
to work around it if there is a finite
number of cases. But if this leads to major
changes to Tcl, I'd prefer to declare Stackless
incompatible with Tcl. It works great with PythonWin
and wxPython, which is a plus for design.

p.s.: This would be a great chance to submit a PowerPC
patch, since I'm very near to a production release.
