Twisted is almost the de facto standard library for non-trivial network
applications with Python.
Of course some people prefer writing their own (this is what Bittorrent
does, although ironically it has taken a bit of code from Twisted
AFAIK), but if you are looking for something widely supported then
Twisted is the best bet.

You'll probably find that Twisted makes your programming much easier
than having to deal with all the low-level stuff yourself.
