No.

For networking and file IO, there are some libraries here:

For networking on Windows using IOCP, there is a library here:

http://code.google.com/p/pyiocp/

But, keep in mind, none of these have been used in production.  The
most commonly used, stacklesssocket, has the same limitations the
underlying resources use - that is, it uses select which on Windows
for Python at least can only deal with 512 connections at a time.

Cheers,
Richard.
