Yes, Medusa (i.e., the full version of the asyncore/asynchat libraries)
is very straightforward to extend.  For basic stuff, using
asyncore/asynchat or Medusa is extremely easy and very straightforward,
and in my opinion has a shorter learning curve than other alternatives.

If you're looking for a "batteries included" solution where more
protocols are already implemented for you, then other options such as
Twisted become more attractive even though in my opinion they have a
greater learning curve.
