Yeah, I found something in the gopher list archives from the author
stating that there was no built-in inetd/xnetd support.  I'm curious
if there is a python module or flag that might change the character
of a program so as to allow invocation via inetd. John Goerzen,
PYG's author, appears to be somewhat of an authority on python coding
for network services so maybe it's not a trivial task:

Anyways, I've come across 'tcpserver' (part of ucspi-tcp by
D. J. Bernstein, the Qmail guy) which might do the trick:
