You already have the answer: replace serve_forever with your own loop.

This is simple enough, I presume:

   try:
     stopt = time.time()+100
     while time.time()<stopt:
         server.handle_request()
   except KeyboardInterrupt: pass
   # shutdown

The drawback is that it won't leave the loop until a request arrives, 
but this may not be a problem for you. (Other suggestions are more 
complicated because of this issue.)
