I beg to differ. For a Python programmer, the easiest web server to
set up under any operating system, except Macs, is 
python -c 'import CGIHTTPServer;CGIHTTPServer.test()' [port number]

Recent versions of Python have this working under windows so you
can run Python CGI scripts. It's not production quality, but it is
good enough for debugging CGI scripts at home.
