This is basically the best answer... we're not planning to make any
further changes/additions/fixes to ZopeHTTPServer (which was used
instead of Apache in early releases), and it will most likely "go away"
within a few releases. It's just a hacked up version of the
BaseHTTPServer that comes with Python.  It's very slow, though
functional.

ZServer is probably your best bet, unless you need something that Apache
can provide---i.e. SSL, etc.
