Take a look at the Python3 branch of Flask: 
https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask.git

And the werkzeug webserver:
https://github.com/mitsuhiko/werkzeug.git


If you download these you can install them with:

> python setup.py install

(werkzeug first, then flask)


Here's the most basic webserver you can create that way:


from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def main():
     return "Hello, Web!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
     app.run()



And yet flask is highly extensible with a lot of plugins.
