You don't seem to have followed up on the twisted.manhole suggestion
yet, or you probably wouldn't still be just talking about this. ;-)
If you don't like the example there, there's also the backdoor into
medusa (check in Zope, for example) via the "monitoring server"
(I vaguely recall that's what it's called).  Don't bother redoing
this stuff from scratch without a good reason... others have already
been here.
