I'm trying to correct you: By your definition, asyncore implements cooperative multi-tasking. You didn't define 'task', but I understand it as 'separate activity'. With asyncore, you can, for example, run a web server and an IRC server in a single thread, as separate tasks, and asyncore deals with the scheduling between these tasks. In your terminology, it is based on continuations: the chunk you specify is the event handler. Indeed, asyncore's doc string starts with # There are only two ways to have a program on a single # processor do "more than one thing at a time". and goes on suggesting that asyncore provides one of them.
