I don't have time for a detailed response but it looks OK except 
ThreadingMixin needs to be the first base class because it overrides a 
method of UDPServer. It turns out there is a class 
SocketServer.ThreadingUDPServer that does this.

Also I'm surprised the program stays running - ISTM with the server 
thread marked daemon and the main thread exiting the program should exit...
