  asyncore is documented in the latest release of the documentation; I 
don't think it's included in the most recent Windows installer.  It's
easy to update the installed documentation under Windows; just unpack
the ZIP file in the right place and viola!

  Cool stuff!

  Me!  You can send it to me at python-docs at python.org, along with the 
appropriate release form.  See http://www.python.org/1.5/patch.html
for information about the release forms; we need that so we can
incorporate and distribute your additions.
