After maintaining my own version of http.server to fix or workaround some of its deficiencies for some years, I discovered bottle.py. It has far more capability, is far better documented, and is just as quick to deploy. While I haven't yet converted all past projects to use bottle.py, it will likely happen in time, unless something even simpler to use is discovered, although I can hardly imagine that happening.

bottle.py uses http.server for its local development mode (the one you see in their quickstart example at the top of their README). Same with flask, django, and probably a bunch of other frameworks. It's very widely used.
