The web server in Python's runtime library is fairly simple,
focusing only on the HTTP requirements.

You might want additional things for an HTTP server
exposed on the internet which should potentially handle high trafic:
e.g.

 * detection of and (partial) protection against denial of service attacks,
 * load balancing,
 * virtual hosting
 * proxing
 * URL rewriting
 * high throughput, low latency

Depending on your requirements, other web servers might be preferable.
