+"""Generic socket server classes.
+
+This module tries to capture the various aspects of defining a server:
+
+- address family:
+	- AF_INET: IP (Internet Protocol) sockets (default)
+	- AF_UNIX: Unix domain sockets
+	- others, e.g. AF_DECNET are conceivable (see <socket.h>
+- socket type:
+	- SOCK_STREAM (reliable stream, e.g. TCP)
+	- SOCK_DGRAM (datagrams, e.g. UDP)
+- client address verification before further looking at the request
+	(This is actually a hook for any processing that needs to look
+	 at the request before anything else, e.g. logging)
+- how to handle multiple requests:
+	- synchronous (one request is handled at a time)
+	- forking (each request is handled by a new process)
+	- threading (each request is handled by a new thread)
+
+The classes in this module favor the server type that is simplest to
+write: a synchronous TCP/IP server.  This is bad class design, but
+save some typing.  (There's also the issue that a deep class hierarchy
+slows down method lookups.)
+
+There are four classes in an inheritance diagram that represent
+synchronous servers of four types:
+
+	+-----------+        +------------------+
+	| TCPServer |------->| UnixStreamServer |
+	+-----------+        +------------------+
+	      |
+	      v
+	+-----------+        +--------------------+
+	| UDPServer |------->| UnixDatagramServer |
+	+-----------+        +--------------------+
+
+(Note that UnixDatagramServer derives from UDPServer, not from
+UnixStreamServer -- the only difference between an IP and a Unix
+stream server is the address family, which is simply repeated in both
+unix server classes.)
+
+Forking and threading versions of each type of server can be created
+using the ForkingServer and ThreadingServer mix-in classes.  For
+instance, a threading UDP server class is created as follows:
+
+	class ThreadingUDPServer(ThreadingMixIn, UDPServer): pass
+
+(The Mix-in class must come first, since it overrides a method defined
+in UDPServer!)
+
+To implement a service, you must derive a class from
+BaseRequestHandler and redefine its handle() method.  You can then run
+various versions of the service by combining one of the server classes
+with your request handler class.
+
+The request handler class must be different for datagram or stream
+services.  This can be hidden by using the mix-in request handler
+classes StreamRequestHandler or DatagramRequestHandler.
+
+Of course, you still have to use your head!
+
+For instance, it makes no sense to use a forking server if the service
+contains state in memory that can be modified by requests (since the
+modifications in the child process would never reach the initial state
+kept in the parent process and passed to each child).  In this case,
+you can use a threading server, but you will probably have to use
+locks to avoid two requests that come in nearly simultaneous to apply
+conflicting changes to the server state.
+
+On the other hand, if you are building e.g. an HTTP server, where all
+data is stored externally (e.g. in the file system), a synchronous
+class will essentially render the service "deaf" while one request is
+being handled -- which may be for a very long time if a client is slow
+to reqd all the data it has requested.  Here a threading or forking
+server is appropriate.
+
+In some cases, it may be appropriate to process part of a request
+synchronously, but to finish processing in a forked child depending on
+the request data.  This can be implemented by using a synchronous
+server and doing an explicit fork in the request handler class's
+handle() method.
+
+Another approach to handling multiple simultaneous requests in an
+environment that supports neither threads nor fork (or where these are
+too expensive or inappropriate for the service) is to maintain an
+explicit table of partially finished requests and to use select() to
+decide which request to work on next (or whether to handle a new
+incoming request).  This is particularly important for stream services
+where each client can potentially be connected for a long time (if
+threads or subprocesses can't be used).
+
+Future work:
+- Standard classes for Sun RPC (which uses either UDP or TCP)
+- Standard mix-in classes to implement various authentication
+  and encryption schemes
+- Standard framework for select-based multiplexing
+
+XXX Open problems:
+- What to do with out-of-band data?
