Web Server

[misceverything at gmail.com]

As part of a Python app I wrote recently (for Windows), I would like
to give the option of an HTTP (HTTPS if possible, but not necessary)
front end, which would then call some existing python scripts.  My
question is - I know I can write a simple HTTP server in Python, but
if there's something simple already out there, I'd prefer to just use
that.  Basically all I need is a simple (i.e. preferably a single
executable) web server that can serve up my content - the only thing I
want the user to be able to configure is the port the web server
listens on (or ports if HTTPS also), and the location of the HTML
files... thanks in advance for your help.
