title: Send Values to BaseHTTPRequestHandler
body: <p>I am creating a simple web server using HTTPServer and BaseHTTPRequestHandler in Python. Here is what I have so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from handler import Handler #my BaseHTTPRequestHandler
  
  def run(self):
      httpd = HTTPServer(('', 7214), Handler)
      try:
          httpd.serve_forever()
      except KeyboardInterrupt:
          pass
      httpd.server_close()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to set the base path for the Handler to serve files from, but I am not sure how to do that since it hasn't been instantiated yet? I have a feeling that this is really easy/obvious, but I cannot think how to do it. I know I can do it inside of the Handler class, but I want to do it from here if possible, since all of my configurations are read here.</p>
