What's this? This probably shouldn't be inside of handle.

If you just run this script, the class EchoHandler will be created but 
no instance of it will ever be created. You must add some code outside 
the class definition that acutally does something.

class EchoHandler(BaseRequestHandler):
      def handle(self):
          print "Client connected:", self.client_address
          self.request.sendall(self.request.recv(2**16))
          self.request.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
     if len(sys.argv) != 2:
         print __doc__
     else:
         TCPServer(('', int(sys.argv[1])),
                   EchoHandler).serve_forever()
