sockets and servers

[Guy]

Hi

Below, code that I found in a book. Server that you can open a telnet
session to.
I don't fully understand this code, but I have used it as it provided
an exstremly good way of creating what I wanted.
The trouble I'm having at the moment is that I can't find a way to
access any var in the uc_handler class (example guy)
or run functions under that class, I would like to run a function from
below the asyncore.poll(SERVER_TIMEOUT) line
example the guy function. The code I've provided is just an example,
my code is a lot longer than this and will take ages to exsplain.
I understand that each user must have a differnt instance of the
class, but I can't find out how to access from here,
or even if this is possible.

Code below :

import asyncore, asynchat, socket, sys

class uc_server(asyncore.dispatcher):

    def __init__(self, host, port):
        asyncore.dispatcher.__init__(self)
        self.create_socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.bind((host, port))
        self.listen(5)

    def handle_accept(self):
        uc_handler(self, self.accept())

class uc_handler(asynchat.async_chat):

    def __init__(self, server, (conn, addr)):
        print "Connection from", addr
        sys.stdout.flush()
        self.addr = addr
        self.server = server
        self.buffer = ''
        self.outbuffer = ''
        self.guy="1"
        asynchat.async_chat.__init__(self, conn)
        self.set_terminator('\n')

    def collect_incoming_data(self, data):
        self.buffer += data.replace('\r', '')

    def found_terminator(self):
        data = self.buffer.upper()
        if data == '':
            print "Disconnect:", self.addr
            sys.stdout.flush()
            self.close()
            return
        self.buffer = ''
        self.push(data + '\r\n')
        
    def guy(self):
    	print "guy"

server = uc_server('', 9999)

while 1:
    asyncore.poll(SERVER_TIMEOUT)




TIA
