Looks good to me.  A few things I'd suggest adding:

* Add an option to serve a single request or forever
* Have it optionally launch any script in the webbrowser, not just the demo
* Allow use of a module instead of a script to obtain the application
* drop the ':' separator syntax, or else use os.pathsep so that it works
properly on Windows (where ':' can denote a drive letter)
