-.. method:: async_chat.handle_read()
-
-   Called when a read event fires on the channel's socket in the asynchronous
-   loop.  The default method checks for the termination condition established
-   by :meth:`set_terminator`, which can be either the appearance of a
-   particular string in the input stream or the receipt of a particular number
-   of characters.  When the terminator is found, :meth:`handle_read` calls the
-   :meth:`found_terminator` method after calling :meth:`collect_incoming_data`
-   with any data preceding the terminating condition.

-
-.. method:: async_chat.handle_write()
-
-   Called when the application may write data to the channel.   The default
-   method calls the :meth:`initiate_send` method, which in turn will call
-   :meth:`refill_buffer` to collect data from the producer fifo associated
-   with the channel.

 .. method:: async_chat.push(data)
 
-   Creates a :class:`simple_producer` object (*see below*) containing the data

-   in more complex schemes to implement encryption and chunking, for example.
