Is there a way to make BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer be multi-threaded like SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer?

You can simply use the threading mixin using both of those classes to make it multithread :)

It won't help you much in performance though, but it's atleast multithreaded.

from SocketServer import ThreadingMixIn
from BaseHTTPServer import HTTPServer

class MultiThreadedHTTPServer(ThreadingMixIn, HTTPServer):
    pass
