Try adding a low-level console control handler that shuts down the
server. For example:

    import sys
    import ctypes
    from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server, demo_app

    kernel32 = ctypes.WinDLL('kernel32', use_last_error=True)
    CTRL_C_EVENT = 0

    with make_server('', 8000, demo_app) as httpd:
        print("Serving HTTP on port 8000...")

        @ctypes.WINFUNCTYPE(ctypes.c_int, ctypes.c_uint)
        def ctrl_handler(dwCtrlType):
            if dwCtrlType == CTRL_C_EVENT:
                print("Ctrl+C shutdown", file=sys.stderr)
                httpd.shutdown()
            return False

        if not kernel32.SetConsoleCtrlHandler(ctrl_handler, True):
            raise ctypes.WinError(ctypes.get_last_error())

        # Respond to requests until process is killed
        httpd.serve_forever()
