You need a way to refer to "this" tasklet from 
Python, and pass that to the "other" tasklet. Alternatively, you need "the tasklet that
transferred to me". This is implicit in generators;
it needs to be explicit to do coroutines. You 
can't write a scheduler in Python without
it - you need the client tasklets to transfer
to the scheduler tasklet.
