Answer 1

It is much more simple than you think:

class ThreadedTCPServer(SocketServer.ThreadingMixIn,SocketServer.TCPServer): pass

Than you just have to use your new ThreadedTCPServer instead of TCPServer.

For more information you can read some doc.

However in your code you made some mistakes:

1. The target argument must be a callable object not an "already-called" object.
2. To handle many requests you need to build a Threads pool. If you only use one thread it does not make any difference if it is the main thread or a "child" thread.
