Overview
========

Fibers are lightweight primitives for cooperative multitasking in Python. They
provide means for running pieces of code that can be paused and resumed. Unlike
threads, which are preemptively scheduled, fibers are scheduled cooperatively,
that is, only one fiber will be running at a given point in time, and no other
fiber will run until the user explicitly decides so.

When a fiber is created it will not run automatically. A fiber must be 'switched'
into for it to run. Fibers can switch control to other fibers by way of the `switch`
or `throw` functions, which switch control or raise and exception in the target
fiber respectively.

Example:

::

    import fibers

    def func1():
        print "1"
        f2.switch()
        print "3"
        f2.switch()

    def func2():
        print "2"
        f1.switch()
        print "4"

    f1 = fibers.Fiber(target=func1)
    f2 = fibers.Fiber(target=func2)
    f1.switch()


The avove example will print "1 2 3 4", but the result was obtained by the
cooperative work of 2 fibers yielding control to each other.
