If you really want to write Apache from scratch in Python you have a lot
of learning and a lot of work to do. A good starting point might be the
book Foundations of Python Network Programming.

You will also need to understand HTTP protocol, I'm sure Google can help
there. The reference for HTTP is RFC 2068:

But why do you want to do this? There are several excellent Python
webservers available. If your goal is to create a home page, this is the
hard way to do it.
