I'm already having such a construct. The problem is the following:
The server waits for a connection and it calls in
SocketServer.TCPServer.handle_request() the function self.socket.accept().
This call blocks until a connections is made.

I have no chance to interrupt this call. I also tried:

def stop_server:
    self.socket.shutdown(2)
    self.socket.close()
    self.run_me = False

The accept() call still won't get interrupted. :-(

Other ideas?
