Hmmm. The TCPServer class instanciates a new
SocketServer.StreamRequestHandler object everytime it uses it. Therefore
it's not in the context of the MyServer class. That's why it didn't work.

It's like in this example:

class A:
 x = 0

 class B:
  def get_x(self):
   print A.x


a = A()
a.x = 10
b = a.B()
b.get_x() # prints out 0 (not 10 as someone might expect)


As a workaroud it did it this way:

def start_server(self):
        handler = self.MyHandler
        handler.x = self.x
        s = SocketServer.TCPServer(('', 1234), handler)
        s.server_forever()


But thanks for the hint.
