the docs for SocketServer document:

The server classes support the following class variables:

allow_reuse_address
Whether the server will allow the reuse of an address.
This defaults to
true, and can be set in subclasses to change the policy.

But clearly, it does not default to true:

poseidon:[/usr/lib] grep allow_reuse_address
python2.?/SocketServer.py
python2.1/SocketServer.py: allow_reuse_address = 0
python2.1/SocketServer.py: if
self.allow_reuse_address:
python2.1/SocketServer.py: allow_reuse_address = 0
python2.2/SocketServer.py: allow_reuse_address = 0
python2.2/SocketServer.py: if
self.allow_reuse_address:
python2.2/SocketServer.py: allow_reuse_address = 0
