I stumbled on a somewhat cleaner way to do this using socket timeouts:
class Server(SocketServer.ThreadingMixIn, SocketServer.TCPServer):
pause = 0.25
allow_reuse_address = True
def __init__(self, server_address, RequestHandlerClass):
SocketServer.TCPServer.__init__(self, server_address,
RequestHandlerClass)
self.socket.settimeout(self.pause)
self.serving = 1
...
def serve_forever(self):
while self.serving:
self.handle_request()
As far as my simple testing went (a trivial little xmlrpc server exposing
only "noop" and "exit" methods), the above worked fine. I was mildly
surprised that I didn't have to catch socket.timeout exceptions.
