Python does not have a "local web server". Python's standard library
does include a basic server class that can handle HTTP, if you wish to
use it.

But this is not a standalone sort of server that you configure and run.
It is a piece of code in a library, you instantiate and use. You
configure it by writing code. If you would like to configure it via a
config file, you have to write that. Code to read the file, code to set
up the server class based on it, and such.

Guide you? You're asking too much. Too vague. I wouldn't even know where
to start. You really need to go curl up around the docs and spend some
time reading it-- BaseHTTPServer, SocketServer, BaseHTTPRequestHandler
are where you get all the information you are looking for.
