I think you should revisit this assumption. Python is quite capable of firing up a local web server, written in Python, and directly on the client. This is how the module docs work in Windows right out of the box e.g. a Tk search returns a list of doc pages, and a selection fires up such as http://localhost:7464/CGIHTTPServer.html. Python users are also used to local hosting as a part of the installer if they've ever played around with Zope or Plone (but a tutoring server needn't be so complicated as medusa, an asynchronous server designed for multiple simultaneous users).
