Might I suggest "reactor"... or possibly "twisted", as that new name?

(Sorry, I was trying to avoid this thread, but that was an opening I 
could drive a truck through).

In all seriousness, I seem to recall that Thomas Wouters was interested 
in doing integrating some portion of Twisted core into the standard 
library as of last PyCon.  I mention him specifically by name in the 
hopes that it will jog his memory.

At the very least, this might serve as a basis for an abstract API for 
asyncore:
