once i wanted to serve a quick and dirty page of 200 thumbnails but python's HTTP server choked after a few people tried it concurrently. it's single threaded and just wouldn't hack it. luckily if you have twisted installed, you can run "twistd web -n -p PORT --path ." it's just as easy as the basic HTTP server but way faster.
