Not a big deal. asynchat / asyncore are pretty easy-to-learn
frameworks. Under the hoods they are extremely simpler if compared to
Twisted.
You shouldn't have problems in learning how the things works in a
couple of days.
Try to take a look at:

If you really need speed UDP could be a better choice.

Developing a bug-less network application by using the basic socket
module instead of an high-level framework like asyncore it's surely a
lot harder.
Again: asyncore is really simple: it's just a matter of understanding
the event-based approach that's very different from the thread-based
one.
