Or use Python's standard library features:

http://docs.python.org/lib/module-asyncore.html
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-asynchat.html

I have to confess, however, that I did reinvent the wheel recently
rather than use asyncore, although I may adopt that particular wheel
later on in the project concerned.
