[Tutor] simple server and client question

[Rob Andrews]

I hate to even ask this one, because it just doesn't *feel* specific
enough, but my sad little plea will have to do.

The mandate has come from above that I write a simple server and client
in Python in preparation for a project in development.  The server and
client can do absolutely anything, and barely that, if I so choose, as
they will not be used in the project (unless my code is brilliant enough
to be useful for the project, I suppose, which is unlikely as it's a
Java project).  The important thing is that I understand how to write
such things.

So if anyone can recommend any good sources I can absorb and start
tinkering, I'd be mighty appreciative.

p.s.: The Useless Python site has undergone a serious renovation
involving a hand re-coding in XHTML this last weekend.  Anyone who has
submitted source code might want to take a peek and make sure I didn't
mess up your entries in the process.
