About asyncore.loop()'s count parameter:

> The count parameter defaults to None, resulting in the loop 
> terminating only when all channels have been closed

This is incorrect and it's not what count parameter actually does.
I'd come up with a patch but I'm sure a native English speaker can do a
lot better than me.

Actually, that's exactly what it does.  If the count is missing, it 
defaults to None.  The code that is executed is exactly:

    if count is None:
        while map:
            poll_fun(timeout, map)

It will loop until the map is empty.

Well...the loop can also die if an uncaptured exception is raised, but 
I'm not sure that is necessary to spell out explicitly.

You're right, my fault.
