Sure. Just enter a loop. Incidentially, common application server 
frameworks as SimpleXMLRPC or pyro come with a main event loop which 
will of course prevent the interpreter to stop.

Together with the daemonize-recipe from apsn, you have your server.

I suggest you use pyro - that will most probably cause the least fuss.
