If you do not want to use/extend SimpleHTTPServer from the standard
library and want to have something more like Django (i.e. a Web
Framework) give Gluon http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/ a try.  It does not
require installation.  For Windows just extract the .zip archive and
launch runme.exe.  Everything is included, even Python.  Same for Mac.
 For Linux the source tarball requires Python 2.4 or newer.

No installation, no configuration, everything can be done from within
the browser.  Watch the screencast at the Gluon homepage for a quick
overview.

Have fun,
