I'm not sure what you're trying to do. I'll assume you want to run function guy 
when the server gets the terminator, '\n' in the example. The self parameter 
references all the instances data and functions.

  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')
      self.guy()
