Make create_server accept a list of ports to listen.
Now it contains only code changes without updates in docs and tests.
If these changes will be considered as helpful I'll be glad to add tests and update documentation for the method.

IIRC we got a similar PR before. But what's the problem with creating multiple server objects?

I think it is just handier than creating several server objects like it is already done for a list of hosts.
For me in particular, need to have exactly the same logic for multiple ports which generates randomly and I want to have one predefined port for manually checking/debugging.

Furthermore, there is a problem with overlapped ports for multiple created server objects. Also, I can quote a comment from 'original' issue: http://bugs.python.org/msg237794

I think this has been already fixed.  Please reopen if I missed something.

Yury, in 3.6 is added support for multiple hosts for create_server but not for multiple ports which I suggest to add.

Let's don't -- all combinations of hosts, ports, sock objects makes a mess already.
I suggest not complicate already complex signature and just close the issue as "won't fix".

Multiple server objects never was a problem.

Agree.  It's also challenging to design the API that binds to multiple hosts *and* ports -- a crossproduct of some sorts.

> Multiple server objects never was a problem.

Right.

Let's close this.
