I handled this control issue using the following code:

# Magic dictionary for WSGIServer.

class MagicDict:
    def __init__(self, handler):
        self.handler = handler
    def has_key(self, name):
        return 1
    def __getitem__(self, name):
        return self.handler

When such an object is passed to WSGIServer, the specified handler always gets 
control, although it'd surely be preferable for so-called "WSGI middleware" 
to manage the URL space.
