Raising the exception only works from inside a signal handler, right?

I don't see why it would. handle_read_event and handle_write_event can raise the asyncore.ExitNow exception to terminate the main loop. A signal handler should also raise ExitNow, in case it's unlucky and fires within a handle_*_event() method.

(Boy, do we ever need an asyncore HOWTO.)
