While in the long run you're better off if you follow Chris' advice here's a minimal cgi script run with http.server
(I'm using curl instead of a browser).

$ mkdir cgi-bin
$ echo -e '#!/usr/bin/env python3\nprint("Content-type:text/plain")\nprint()\nprint("Hello, world")' > cgi-bin/index.py
$ chmod u+x cgi-bin/index.py 
$ python3 -m http.server --cgi &
[1] 12345
$ Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

$ curl http://localhost:8000/cgi-bin/index.py
127.0.0.1 - - [06/Sep/2015 14:30:23] "GET /cgi-bin/index.py HTTP/1.1" 200 -
Hello, world
$
