But your server needs to be gratefully shut down on Kodi exit. Kodi itself also includes a WSGI server but I'm afraid it's not well documented.

Here's an example from one of my old addons: https://github.com/romanvm/kodi.yatp/blob/master/plugin.video.yatp/server.py#L47
It runs a Bottle web-app, but the general principle is the same.

python:
from cgi import parse_qs

from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server

def simple_app(environ, start_response):

status = '200 OK'

headers = [('Content-Type', 'text/plain')]

start_response(status, headers)

if environ['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST':

request_body_size = int(environ.get('CONTENT_LENGTH', 0))

request_body = environ['wsgi.input'].read(request_body_size)

d = parse_qs(request_body) # turns the qs to a dict

return 'From POST: %s' % ''.join('%s: %s' % (k, v) for k, v in d.iteritems())

else: # GET

d = parse_qs(environ['QUERY_STRING']) # turns the qs to a dict

return 'From GET: %s' % ''.join('%s: %s' % (k, v) for k, v in d.iteritems())

httpd = make_server('', 1337, simple_app)

print "Serving on port 1337..."

httpd.serve_forever()
