Threadless, Unix-like processes using Python coroutines

The compstrm project now supports very light-weight Unix-like processes and pipes, implemented as coroutines using the Python yield statement and asynchronous programming techniques.

The result is super-fast code with all the convenience of threads but without the complexities. And cleanup is automatic, as these processes get garbage collected (unlike threads).

An integration with asynchat demonstrates how your asynchronous code can be untwisted, making it much easier to read and maintain.
