I just tried changing this so that I now have a threading.Event()
called self.done, which is set within the body of the shutdown()
method. The serverWrapper loop now looks like this:
def serverWrapper():
while True:
server.handle_request()
if self.done.isSet():
break
This works, but only if I follow the shutdown() rpc call a few seconds
later with ... something else to cause handle_request() to complete
again. Obviously, not quite the right approach....
