This is a seriously impressive project. I see your pitch is M:N work-stealing across real cores on free-threaded 3.13t/3.14t which i think is only possible because nogil now exists. which makes gevent seem lackluster in comparison
This is an intimidating amount of code! 12,303 lines of C and 244,740 lines of Python, which looks to be a ton of monkeypatching plus huge amounts of test code.
Only one commit added all of that, just two hours ago.
The published numbers are impressive, but its hard to evaluate how much trust can be put in a project of this complexity at this early stage.

I don't know, I'm not finding it hard to evaluate that at all.
I've had bad enough experiences with gevent in the (now fairly distant) past, and that's a well-established project, just a subtle one with a large blast radius. This has all of those problems, plus is _much_ larger and I don't think can possibly have been tested as widely as I would want. I get maybe there's a lot of test code, but I think this kind of thing you only really know when the rubber meets the road.
Because you are have an existing app in Python. Because you need some library that is not available in Go. Because you prefer Python. All are valid reasons.
Clearly lol. I think a good-faith interpretation of the question is: "What kinds of things is go's concurrency model suited for where the normal pythonic alternative is cumbersome/less desirable"

250k lines of code in one commit is reason enough to disregard the project entirely, IMO. Vibe code if one wants, but that is just madness...
How does this compare with gevent?
Exactly this is very reminiscent
Why not just use Go?
Because you are have an existing app in Python. Because you need some library that is not available in Go. Because you prefer Python. All are valid reasons.
then why not just use threads/processes in python?
Because they are not the same as Go-style green threads/coroutines?

Someone desires attention ..
Is Python about to have its Project Loom moment?
