That's because you didn't define a handle_read() method: since you
never read from the socket, you don't detect EOF, and never call
handle_close():

Try with this:
"""
             print('Done.')
             self.close()

+    def handle_read(self):
+        self.recv(MSG_SIZE)
+
     def handle_close(self):
         print('calling handle_close')
         asyncore.dispatcher_with_send.handle_close(self)
"""

And it'll fail ;-)
