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

$ curl http://localhost:8000/cgi-bin/index.py

Hello, world
