For something that small, BaseHTTPServer should be fine.  A typical
browser will open 5 or so concurrent connections if you have a page
with a bunch of images on it.  If you rarely have more than 2 or 3
browsers pointing to the site, you're probably fine, until the day you
publish something interesting and get Slashdotted ;-).
