Fix for Django runserver: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

broken_pipe_32_fix.py

"""
The problem is caused by the client terminating the call before the job is processed.  To fix, add in the ThreadingMixIn as recommended here by Edward Samson (for a different, but related problem) here https://bitbucket.org/edu/woof/issue/1/errno-32-broken-pipe-upon-accessing-woof
