Do you have any anti-virus programs running?  Its possible they may be 
interfering with letting your python installation open a server on the 
local host at all, or with letting your browser access it, if it is running.

What I get in the console looks like this:

Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

PS C:\Users\Monte Milanuk> python -m http.server
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

...and then once I open a browser window to 'localhost:8000', I get the 
following in the console:

127.0.0.1 - - [17/Apr/2016 09:21:49] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -

Which is the python http.server telling you that it responded to a 
request from 127.0.0.1, completion code (200), etc.  If you're not 
seeing that, and you're instead getting 404 codes in the browswer 
window, something on your machine is blocking it from seeing the server.

You might try '127.0.0.1:8000' instead of 'localhost:8000' in the 
browser window, or you might try specifying different interface or port 
numbers for the server when you start it.  It *should* 'just work' as 
is, with the basic 'python -m http.server' command, but obviously it 
isn't, for whatever reason.
