For development I run my own modified version of CGIHTTPServer. It is called CGITHTTPServerWithSSI - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/recipebook.shtml#ssi
It implements *some* SSI functions and allows you to maintain sites in *two* folders. A main folder and a second 'development' folder that just has stuff you're working on. It looks in the development folder first. The HTTPServer classes make great base classes for messing around with your own custom implementations for testing. All the best, Fuzzyman http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/index.shtml -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
