I'm looking for a small, simple, fast, Python based web server for a simple, client side application we're building. We don't want to distrubute and support a "real" web server like Apache or Tomcat or depend on the presence of local web server such as IIS. The application in question will service AJAX requests from a browser.
We're not looking for a web framework like Django, Plone, etc. I've looked at the web servers that come bundled with the Python standard library[1] and they are too slow. I suspect this is because they don't maintain a session between the client and server, thus every GET/POST request repeats the session setup and break down process. Or they might be based on a polling model? Here are the other Python based web server implementations I'm aware of: - cherrypy - web.py - twisted Any recommendations appreciated (Python 2.6 preferred but open to Python 3.1 options). Thanks!
