If sublime you say is sublimeText plugin, I have the same issue, and send TCP server a message 'shutdown' from python code, then

app.js

 TCPserver
        .on('connection', function(socket)
        {
            socket.pipe(require('through')
                (function(data)
                { //----------------------------
                    if (data.toString() === 'shutdown')
                    {
                        process.exit();
                    }
                    //--------------------------
                }));
            socket.end();
        })
