I'm with you... I kind-of thought that but I still don't trust my
newbie skills...

cool.  Works perfectly.  

Based on this, if I create a class to connect to a db and pull data,
then I simply need to subclass SocketServer.TCPServer, make sure I
call the SocketServer.TCPServer __init__ method in my own __init__
method and I'm off to the races... I only have to write methods in the
"TestRequestHandler" to pass off the data "TestServer"...

Thanks a lot!!
