I was having a similiar problem as you, where as soon as my program
exited, it would get started up again, but could not bind to the same
address.
So i added the follow straight after I create my server object:
server.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)

And it worked. Note that my program was running on Linux, so this might
be a windows issue.
