Hi, following up http://mail.python.org/pipermail/docs/2011-February/003095.html I'm attaching a simple patch to avoid a traceback similar to this when a client disconnects:

error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel <__main__.EchoHandler 127.0.0.1:41884 at 0x150ae60> (<class 'socket.error'>:[Errno 9] Bad file descriptor [/home/morph/python-dev/py3k/Lib/asyncore.py|read|81] [/home/morph/python-dev/py3k/Lib/asyncore.py|handle_read_event|440] [<stdin>|handle_read|4] [/home/morph/python-dev/py3k/Lib/asyncore.py|send|550] [/home/morph/python-dev/py3k/Lib/asyncore.py|initiate_send|537] [/home/morph/python-dev/py3k/Lib/asyncore.py|send|367])
