I think you should revisit this assumption.  Python is quite capable
of firing up a local web server, written in Python, and directly on
the client.

This is how the module docs work in Windows right out of the box e.g.
a Tk search returns a list of doc pages, and a selection fires up such
as http://localhost:7464/CGIHTTPServer.html.

Python users are also used to local hosting as a part of the installer
if they've ever played around with Zope or Plone (but a tutoring
server needn't be so complicated as medusa, an asynchronous server
designed for multiple simultaneous users).
