any python socket server framework?

Question

I'm looking for a python socket server framework - not to handle http, but to handle tcp sockets. I've done it myself, but adding all the features is tedious. This framework would handle thread pooling, socket setup, signal handling, etc.

A big feature is code-reloading. If I use apache/mod_python, or django, or whatever, I don't have to restart the server to get it to use new/changed code. Anybody know how that's done?

thanks!

Twisted is the usual suspect. Reloading in the case of mod_wsgi is easy since only the WSGI server needs to be restarted, not the whole web server (not that restarting the web server is all that hard, mind you...).
