In the past, I have used the select module to manage asynchronous IO operations. I pass the select.select function a list of file-like objects, and it returns a list of file-like objects which are ready for reading and writing. http://python.org/doc/2.2/lib/module-select.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
