[Tutor] Networking

> Dear Tutors,

I don't know much about networking, less so about it on Windows; also, I've only scanned quickly through the server script, but I notice your create_handler() function doesn't return anything. I guess it needs to return the Handler class.
The example in the Python docs doesn't use a factory function, but instead directly puts the class as the second argument to TCPServer. 
So the second argument needs to be a class, but since your create_handler() function returns nothing, you presumably get this NoneType exception.
