It depends on what you want to do.

Zope is bloated. Nevertheless I use it because the ZCatalog lets you
index python objects easily. The downside: Most providers don't let you
use it.

If performance is not very important, I would use cgi. 

I was told, that scgi is better than mod_python. But never used one of
both: http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/scgi/

If you want it to be 100% Python you can use medusa: A webserver written
in python.
