well, you could always do (assuming you have 2 threads)
on the serving thread, you start with this function:
def startServer()
try:
#init code yada yada
#start it up!
server.serve()
except (SystemExit, KeyboardInterrupt):
#any shutdown code, closing sockets goes here
return
and on the other thread:
raise SystemExit
or even serverthread.terminate()
