Has anybody written a socket server in Python with Flash 5 in mind?  

Flash 5 can talk XML to an appropriately constructed socket server - but I've 
only found XMLSocket servers written in Java available for this purpose.   

e.g.  Xserver is a pure java server designed specifically for the Flash XML 
socket connection. It was created to provide Flash designers the missing link 
to using the socket object in Flash. It is easy to configure, provides a simple 
API, and is flexible enough to be both a chat-server and a multi-player game 
server."

e.g. also The FlashNow server works with the XML socket feature, opening a 
channel for messaging between different users.... FlashNow V1.2
Enables Flash developers to create live, two-way interactions using the XML 
socket feature of Macromedia Flash 

It would be nice to see such a server written in *python*, and readily 
extensible.  Surely this has been done somewhere?
