Here's the threading CGI server from Chpater 7 of "Python Web Programming".
Replacing CGIHTTPServer with SimpleHTTPServer should give you what you want.
As you can see, the trick is simply to subclass the server you want, making
sure that the ThreadingMixin class is the first base class.

import SocketServer
import BaseHTTPServer
import CGIHTTPServer

class ThreadingCGIServer(SocketServer.ThreadingMixIn,
                   BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer):
    pass

import sys

server = ThreadingCGIServer(('', 8080), CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler)
#
try:
    while 1:
        sys.stdout.flush()
        server.handle_request()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print "Finished"
