Hi Eric,
I think CherryPy (http://www.cherrypy.org) would fit your needs.
Do develop a web app with CherryPy, you write source files, compile them
with CherryPy and CherryPy generates a single executable containing the
"server and all" :-).

About your problem of having to "use the task manager to kill the program":
you're probably developing on Windows. In this case, hitting "control-C"
will not stop the program right away because it is stuck on a
"socket.accept()" call. In order to stop it, you have to hit
"control-break".

Regards.

Remi.
