That part might be more difficult.  If asyncore is running in an 
independent thread, it's not easy to tell it to stop.  One way to deal 
with that is to write your own loop, where the body of the loop calls 
asyncore.poll() with a short timeout and checks a global variable to see 
if it's time to stop.
