Here's a straw man.  Try the attached module.  To test it, run:

    python ./watcher.py 10203

then telnet to port 10203 on the local machine.  You can open
several telnet connections to port 10203 at once.

In one session:

    skuld[1041]% telnet localhost 10203
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    >>> 1 + 2
    3
    >>> spam = 3

In another session:

    skuld[1008]% telnet localhost 10203
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    >>> spam
    3

So is there no way to register more than one callback on a
particular file?  Do you ever find yourself wanting to do that?
