Hi Magnus, I wrote about this at http://www.dalkescientific.com/writings/diary/archive/2005/04/21/using_xmlrpc.html The reason for it is described at http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~fine/Tech/addrinuse.html You can set the class variable "allow_reuse_address = True" in your derived ExitableSocketServer to get the behaviour you expect, at the expense of some problems mentioned in the above URL.
