I was using Abyss web server for a long time since it has multi-OS support and a friendly web based UI for administration. Seemed extremely light weight to me.

You need a server for what now? Web pages? FTP? SVN? I can't think of much else. I run apache and ftp services on my windows machine, and they're using... let me check... 4 MB of ram for the FTP server, and 4.6 MB of ram for Apache. neither of these are considered 'lightweight' apps. Both are fully-featured. Neither are listed as using more than 0% CPU. My IM client uses 14 MB, my music program uses 32 MB, my browser is using 63 MB, and my e-mail client is using 47 MB. I would consider Apache fairly resource-friendly, compared to these other apps. Not to mention it's used on over 50% of EVERY web server, so I'm pretty sure it's reliable. And I don't see a need to use anything else. If your software asked me to install some obscure web server I've never heard of, I would probably cancel the installation and forget about it, for fear it would interfere with my already-established Apache server. > I found one in python, and > posted it, and it caused a stirr.

As far as I can tell, the software you're writing (miniwiki) will be served from the client's computer directly to the client's web browser. No actual web stuff is necessary, right? I don't understand why you'd want to make the user have to install another webserver to use your program. You're writing it in Python, why not use a Python HTTP server library, and have that included in your distribution when you py2exe it? It seems by far a better solution.
