python 2.x stdlib has no high level support of *async* code. There is
trollius library that ports asyncio to py2 though.

I was a bit quick in my first anwser. What you want is to prevent the
socket to wait indefinetly for data (based on strace output) which is done
with socket.setblocking/settimeout [1]. asynchronous (asyncio) is something
else, and you would still need to handle blocking I think.

There is contentbrowser [2] which is somekind of web proxy.

IMO, python 2 -> python 3 is not a big leap. Some things are better in
python 3.
