Well, of course, each person recommended their own framework.

The short version was:

- tornado is a web server, if you're not using it, the async stuff is 
better developed elsewhere

- asyncio is very new, not a lot of protocols out in the wild and not 
much battle testing

- twisted is been around the block a lot, huge amounts of support and an 
active, knowledgeable community. Can feel crufty and old in parts, mind

The community bit swung it for me, so I've opted for Twisted, if I ever 
get a chance to work on the project in question ;-)
