It seems python was being blamed for what is essentially the fault of lynx.

The following would translate into browsing files locally from the system and 
not from the web:

lynx http://localhost:8000/../../../../../../../../etc/passwd

The correct syntax for testing should have been:

lynx http://localhost:8000/../../../../../../../../etc/passwd
