I tried much the same thing, and never did see much in useful errors
hitting my handle_error, but catching exceptions in handle_read did
the trick. My little app also uses tkinter and asyncore, along with
timeoutsocket. Anyway, the exceptions were caught and used to trigger
the error-handling callback to do the work.
