gotcha. I want to write a TCP server that handles incoming requests in
threads (one thread per request using SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer).
Now, I want the server to use curses for client-server communication
(client will be telnet). Thus, my programm runs in a single process
(although several threads) and provides several curses screens (one for
each client.)
