Interesting, I recently came across this:

   http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-contin.html

which talks about using continuations in web programming (Apache
Cocoon). It would be cool to have something like this in Python.
Should be doable with stackless, I've heard mention of people
using stackless with zope.

The code referenced by the above article

   http://csoki.ki.iif.hu/~vitezg/impostor/

doesn't appear to use continuations and hence has problems
handling back / forward button presses.
