Ah... so then calling serve_forever() won't block? My current code, which illustrates what I'm attempting can be found here - http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/oIqI3Q11.html Basically, the server isn't the main focus, what I'm aiming for looks similar to this server-----Queue--data_cruncher--MySQLconnection server---/ / server-/ / server -/ So basically having data_cruncher to crunch whatever data there is in the queue and send it off to the database is the priority. I'm having trouble with SocketServer, need to do some more experimenting, so I'll get back to it.
