The problem turned out to be keep-alive. Apparently, Comcast is limiting my inbound connections. Apache keeps the connections alive so it works fine. The Python servers don't support keep-alive and are using up the available connections too quickly. I'm now using Apache as a proxy to the Python server and it works well.
