This is simple:
http://www.geocities.com/luszczek1/httpd_py.html

and seems to work with multiple POSTs. But it doesn't
seem to be able to handle file upload correctly. At
least as this script is concerned:
def main():
    form = cgi.FieldStorage()

    fc = form.getvalue("fc", "")

    print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n",
    print "<html><body>"

    if fc:
        print "File", repr(fc), str(dir(fc))
        fc = form["fc"]
        print "<pre>"
        print fc.file.value
        print "</pre>"
