I don't recommend doing this.
Someone may setup a web page with very nasty python code for you.

Rather than that, IE will ask for 
   Execute with associated program,
or
   Save that file.
for most unknown type.

If you are testing the script you made,
you can simply choose to execute,
providing .py and .pyc is associated with Python
in the registry.

You should be very careful if your machine is connected to Lan/Wan.

I would not run pysvr and any other server script unless;
   my machine is not connected,
   or script has adequate security measure.


If you add these lines;

  if not addr[0]=="127.0.0.1": 
    print "Bad addr", addr
    break

right after 

  (conn, addr) = sock.accept

it would be safer.

You can add any safe address, too.
  if addr[0]!="127.0.0.1" and addr[0][:6]!="192.168":
