[Twisted-Python] "Ports" vs. "Listeners"

[Matthew Walker]

"Port" to me suggests some sort of system resource, whereas "Listener" at
least connotes something is being *done*. If indeed, we are talking about a
class whose responsibility it is to receive requests and handle them, then a
more active name such as "Listener" (or even "server") might be more
appropriate.

ServerSocket is the official Pythonic name, as in "the ServerSocket
module".
