For all that I think asyncore is worthless, I'm still against copying Twisted into the stdlib. Or at least I'm not willing to maintain the necessary fork, and I fear the nightmares about versioning that can easily occur when you've got both standard library and third party versions of a project. I wouldn't be enthusiastic about putting all of Twisted in the stdlib either. Twisted is on a different release schedule than Python. However, isn't there a relatively small core subset like Alex mentioned that isn't changing much? Could we split up those components and have those live in the core, but the vast majority of Twisted live outside as it does now?

+1. This would be very useful for simple networking applications.
