The use case is to have a very easily set up way to serve basic pages
and files, without a lot of configuration files and other
infrastruct
For a couple of years we've used SimpleHTTPServer to serve pages to internal
users at low volumes, and we find it to be reliable and trivial to set up. We
have not subjected it to a rigorous security assessment.

Some Python users have told me that isn't a good idea, but
without any specifics.

Sometimes I have a short term requirement to serve some data by http, so
I've been using those modules rather than setting up a full featured web
server. Some Python users have told me that isn't a good idea, but
without any specifics.
Are there any known problems with them such as security bugs,
