If you want something that meets your requirement and is very easy to
deploy, you can try CherryPy ...
It will generate a single executable containing everything that's needed to
run the site (including its own HTTP server).
Then all you need to install on the deployment machine is Python.
Actually, you can also freeze the script generated by CherryPy (with py2exe
for instance) and then Python isn't even required anymore ...
