Have you tried using Flask? It's a lightweight server library that makes this really easy.

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return ''


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

The return value, in this case , is rendered has HTML. You can also use HTML template files for more complex pages.

Here's a good, short, youtube tutorial that explains it better.
