Twisted isn't so much complex as *large*.  The trick is knowing which bits
matter to you, and which parts to ignore -- unfortunately, or docs are
fairly mediocre at helping you with that :(

Regardless, I think Twisted is worth investing a little time into.  The
essentials for writing servers are here:
    http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/howto/servers

That doc doesn't mention this, but listening on multiple ports is easy; you
can simply do:

    reactor.listenTCP(10001, factory1)
    reactor.listenTCP(10002, factory2)
    # etc...

You can even use the same factory on multiple ports.

Feel free to ask for help on twisted-python at twistedmatrix.com, or on
#twisted on irc.freenode.net -- there's usually someone around who's happy
to help.
