Um... how can you make a chat server with SocketServer? SocketServer is a 
synchronous server, meaning in practice that there is only one connection 
open at a time. If you're planning on using multiple connections, you 
should use the asyncore & asynchat packages (which are part of the Python 
main distribution) or my recent package, selecting, which is much better 
IMHO and is available at http://sange.fi/~atehwa-u/selecting-0.8.tar.gz
