Which Python version?

On Python 2.6, you should call the shutdown() method (from another  
thread!) instead of simply server_close()
See this recipe [1] -- just look at the main() function (disregard all the  
previous details); it runs the server(s) in their own thread, the main  
thread just sits and waits for KeyboardInterrupt or SystemExit.
