Look into Flask. You can do something really simple:

https://github.com/Rosuav/MinstrelHall

All the code is in one file for simplicity, though for a larger
project, you can break it up as required. (Compared to PHP, where
you're _forced_ to have exactly one file per entry-point, this is a
nice flexibility.) Then I just have one line in my Apache config file
that looks something like this:

WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/scripts/MinstrelHall/mh.wsgi

and Apache does all the rest. There's some cruft in that code to get
around a few oddities, but for the most part, writing a page is as
simple as writing a function, decorated to manage routing, that
returns render_template("somefile.html"). It's pretty easy.
