  I'm using asyncore in my new Python online game project:
<http://kuoi.asui.uidaho.edu/~kamikaze/Hyperspace/>

  So far, it's worked well.  It's fast, reliable, and easy to use.  The
only major complaint I have is that on Windows, it can hang on a sudden
exit; I can kill it from Cygwin, but normal Windows users will have
zombie processes.  I'm not sure if I care enough to find out why.

  I just didn't see any real advantage to using Twisted, when I could
use something already in the library.
