SocketServer class - basis problem

[lebo]

So I'm new to this python stuff - and this has me stumped

# server
import SocketServer

PORT = 8037

class myRequestHandler(SocketServer.StreamRequestHandler):
    def handle(self):
        self.input = self.rfile.read(1024)
        print self.input
        self.wfile.write("blah")

server = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", PORT), myRequestHandler)
print "listening on port", PORT
server.serve_forever()

# client
import socket

HOST = socket.gethostname()
PORT = 8037        

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
s.send('Hello, world')

# Fails
data = s.recv(1024)

s.close()
print 'Received', data

Why does s.recv() hang the client?  It seems like server is not
handing back "blah", but I'm sure it is.....this should be
easy...(sigh)
