Threaded servers are supported by the standard library. Instead of using
UDPServer use this class:
class ThreadingUDPServer(ThreadingMixIn, UDPServer): pass
Then your request handler will be called in a separate thread. You don't
need to queue the requests yourself, the server will create the thread
and dispatch to it when a request is received.
