If you want to serve the file over HTTP so it is visible in a browser 
you will need another server. If your needs are simple then 
SimpleHTTPServer, in the standard library, may work for you. If you need 
more functionality then you should look at the other HTTP servers 
available for Python such as CherryPy and Karrigell.
