Rather than pass it around, you could set the factory instance as an
attribute of the transport:

f = protocol.ServerFactory()
f.protocol = lambda: TelnetTransport(AuthenticatingTelnetProtocol, p)
f.protocol.factory = f

then the factory will be available from MyTelnet.transport:

class MyTelnet(StatefulTelnetProtocol):
    def telnet_Command(self, line):
        print "line received via telnet", line
        print "The Server factory is a: %s" % (self.transport.factory)
