Thanks for your suggestions, but none of these work. Could it be I'm
doing something terribly wrong? At least I could reduce the problem:

If I start the server and immediately shut it down via Ctrl-C, the
address can be reused. If I shut it down after it has served at least
one request, it says it cannot reuse the address, the socket is in
state TIME_WAIT then.

This is the code I use to make a request:

import xmlrpclib
remote = xmlrpclib.Server("http://localhost:8000")
remote.do_something_nasty()

cg.
