Slightly OT: Alternative to CFEverywhere?

[paron]

You might look at MovPy http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/ and
CherryPy http://www.cherrypy.org

Put MovPy on a USB drive, and you can run a server right from there.
This I have tried, and it works just fine. I can't see any reason why
CherryPy WOULDN'T run with MovPy, but I haven't done it yet. (CherryPy
makes serving HTML EZPZ, and even XMLRPC isn't too tough.)

If you are a pythonista, it's an alternative that lets you serve http
(GET and POST only, right now) on the local machine without
installation (beyond plugging the USB drive in).
