handle_accept

Synopsis

                           d.handle_accept( )

Called when a new client has connected. Your class X normally responds by calling self.accept, then instantiating another subclass Y of dispatcher with the resulting new socket, in order to handle the new client connection.

Your implementation of handle_accept need not return the resulting instance of Y: all instances of subclasses of dispatcher register themselves with the asyncore framework in method dispatcher.__init__, so that asyncore calls back to their methods as appropriate.
