Yeah, the original API design (which is very inflexible) and the lack of maintenance for many years is at the base of asyncore problems. I still think it worths some love as a stdlib module, though. For 3.3 I have in mind to revamp asyncore/asynchat a bit by introducing SSL support and finally add a scheduler (issue 1641).
