Odd. For me, it doesn't work (Windows 7, but I can't see why that would affect it).

Having investigated a bit more, it seems like if I just start the server then hit Ctrl-C it shuts down fine. But if I start the server, then I navigate to http://localhost:8000 in my browser, and *then* hit Ctrl-C, the server just continues running.

So I don't know if it's something to do with having handled a request? I have a vague recollection that it's to do with threading - maybe the exception being delivered to the wrong thread? Or a non-daemon thread being left active?

Thanks for checking for me, though.
