There's a very simple one in the standard distribution (actually, more
than one). And then there's Medusa:

It is. Very much so, in fact. :)

Thanks to Moshe Zadka, these will be documented in the next release
of the documentation.
Thanks, Moshe!

Is Zope the 'embedded-in-apache-thing' you refer to?
If so, you should note that it doesn't *need* apache, and can be used
seperately (I do it this way).

Zope 1.1x uses the Python httpserver mentioned in some of the other
posts, whereas zope 2.0.x(alpha!) uses Zserver, based on Medusa, as
mention in the other posts. :-)

My opinions are just that; _my_ opinions.

There is also a web server included in the python source library
(basehttpserver, simplehttpserver, cgihttpserver)

I'm also using those files as a basis for a slightly different
webserver
design.
