serve_forever is inherited from SocketServer.BaseServer and it's just an  
infinite loop calling self.handle_request() over and over.
You have to break out of the loop somehow and call self.server_close().  
Something like this (untested):

     def serve_forever(self):
         while not self.some_flag_to_indicate_it_has_to_stop:
             self.handle_request()
         self.server_close()
