Here's a snippet using asyncore that seems to do what you want. Are you
saying that you can't trap KeyboiardInterrupt? You'll have your own
http_server() equivalent already, I'm guessing.

def serve():

    port = 8080

    if len(sys.argv) >1:
        try:
            port = int(sys.argv[1])
        except:
            sys.exit("Illegal port number")

    logfile = open(LOGFILE, "a")
    server = http_server('', port, logfile)
    try:
        asyncore.loop(1.0) # Frequent checks for interrupt
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print "Completed" # on console
        logfile.close()
