thanks for bringing this topic up. Initially I considered http.server, too. But as Guido put it, it's both used and useful for local testing and quick hacks. I'm already facing opposition for modules that are less controversial and useful than http.server, too.

Could the high-level functionality of http.server (and perhaps socketserver as a whole) be rebuilt on top of asyncio, with serve_forever implicitly starting an asyncio loop with the server as the only task? Or are the paradigms too different?
