Check CherryPy - www.cherrypy.org. It's clean, light, and best of all,
includes its own webserver. You can publish a small site with almost
*no* configuration effort, and you have to write *very little code*.
It's also natively multi-threaded, and supports advanced stuff such as
gzip compression on the fly and XMLRPC.

Disclaimer: I'm a contributor to CherryPy, so I'm biased. But I had
evaluated both Karirgel and Quixote before settling up on CherryPy,
and I see no reason to change.
