You can declare the allow_reuse_address on the class itself and let the
TCPServer constructor to setup binding and call server_activate(), just tested
myself works fine:
https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/SocketServer.py#l432

ex.: SocketServer.TCPServer.allow_reuse_address = True

Done.

You're right. Great that you found that.
