So could you tell me what the proper Pythonic fix for the example server
in Python's documentation would be?

Here's the code in question:

========================================================================
import http.server
import socketserver

PORT = 8000

Handler = http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

with socketserver.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler) as httpd:
    print("serving at port", PORT)
    httpd.serve_forever()
========================================================================

BTW, the proper response would be a 404. 500 means: "There's a bug in my
code".
