I seem to remember seeing a single line implementation of a webserver a couple of years ago. I'm aware of SimpleHTTPServer and it's like, and that's not it - I think this was using Socket and select().
I thought it was on the Python Tutor mailing list, but an archive search hasn't revealed anything, nor has a google search. I was wondering if anyone here might have further leads I could look up - or ideally a link to the original.
Although I guess it's entirely possible that the original author has taken it down out of shame...
