I use the following method.
Would also like to know if there's another way to do this.

class SVNUpdateRequestHandler(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler):
    def __init__(self, svn, wms, *args, **kwargs):
        self.svn = svn
        self.wms = wms
        # NEED to set additional attributes before parent init
        SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler.__init__(self, *args,
**kwargs)

    def handle(self):
        pass

def get_handler(svn, wms):
    class RequestHandler(SVNUpdateRequestHandler):
        def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
            SVNUpdateRequestHandler.__init__(self, svn, wms,
                                             *args, **kwargs)

    return RequestHandler

def main(port, requesthandler):
    server = SVNUpdateServer(('', port), requesthandler)
    while 1:
        server.handle_request()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    svn, wms = sys.argv[1:]

    requesthandler = get_handler(svn, wms)
    main(port, requesthandler)
