Asyncore was a nice idea, but you shouldn't build anything on top of it.
The newest Python versions have moved to a scheme called asyncio. Its
programming model is a bit unconventional and hasn't won me over yet.

Personally, I have found select.epoll(EPOLLET) plus a timer
implementation enough of a framework for all of my async needs.

Then comes HTTP support. The stdlib networking facilities are great for
quick scripting, but not really compatible with the asynchronous
paradigm. I have coded my protocols by hand myself.
