How is anybody supposed to write a package which sits atop a library like asyncore in a fashion portable across Python versions? The changes to the implementation in 2.6 (there is no real API) can't be reconciled, AFAICT.
This seems to be the crux of the problem with asyncore, ever since it was added to the stdlib -- there's no real API, so every change potentially breaks something. I wish we could start over with a proper design under a new name. Maybe packages requiring asyncore functionality should just copy the version of asyncore they like into their own three and stick with that.
That was the very solution Chris came up with earlier today: "stick a fork in it, its done!"
