[Python-Dev] Allowing multiple socket maps in asyncore (and asynchat)

[Jim Fulton]

I find asyncore to be quite useful, however, it is currently
geared to having a single main loop. It uses a global socket
map that all asyncore dispatchers register with.

I have an application in which I want to have multiple 
socket maps.

I propose that we start moving toward a model in which 
selection of a socket map and control of the asyncore loop
is a bit more explicit.  

If no one objects, I'll work up some initial patches.

Who should I submit these to? Sam? 
Should the medusa public CVS form the basis?

Jim
