Forget BaseHTTPServer. I'd be surprised

Unless you absolutely MUST have a 100% pure Python solution, I would
recommend you take a long hard look at Xitami (www.xitami.com). The free
version supports http, you get https with the commercial version, which is
very modestly priced IMO.

Most importantly it has an asynchronous framework which appears to allow for
some fairly heavy-duty scaling, and it will support long-running web
processes in Python if required.
