Hi everyone. I'm fairly new to Python, and even more new to socket
programming. I think I've wrapped my head around sockets, and with
that I want to create a Telnet-based chat server, the idea being
people connect to the telnet servers with their clients and they all
communicate. I've got the code working, but the server sends each
letter to the clients on a new line! I've read about this kind of
thing on Windows on Google, but I can't find a solution to this issue.

The telnet client can use "line mode" or "character mode". In "line mode"  
nothing is sent until the user press Enter; line editing is made on the  
client side. In "character mode" keystrokes are sent as soon as typed;  
probably your telnet client is using this mode.

That's definitely going to be a problem.

To the OP:

You claim to be writing a telnet server, yet I don't see any
code that actually implements the telnet protocol. Different
telnet clients default to different modes, so if you want them
in a certain mode, you have to put them in the desired mode by
implementing the telnet feature negotiation protocol.

OP here - sorry for the confusion, it's just a listener program that
people connect to via telnet.

I'll take a look at the Twisted engine and see if that helps at all.
