Take a look at the Python3 branch of Flask:
https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask.git
And the werkzeug webserver:
https://github.com/mitsuhiko/werkzeug.git
If you download these you can install them with:
> python setup.py install
(werkzeug first, then flask)
Here's the most basic webserver you can create that way:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
def main():
return "Hello, Web!"
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
And yet flask is highly extensible with a lot of plugins.
