[Python-Dev] Does anyone care enough about asyncore and asynchat to help adapt their APIs for Py3k?

[Dennis Allison]

Guido,

These modules provide the server component of many existing versions of the
Zope system where they have served well (pun intended).    I would be
concerned were they disappear in Python 3000.
