The two basic approaches are event-based asynchronous i/o (there are various packages for that) and threads. There are holy wars over which is better. Event-driven i/o in Python 2.x was generally done with callback-based packages like Twisted Matrix (www.twistedmatrix.com). In Python 3 there are some nicer mechanisms (coroutines) so the new asyncio package may be easier to use than Twisted. I haven't tried it yet. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
