want HTTP Server with CGI Support, just need PYTHON without any scripts
so to have CGI supported HTTP server, just by using PYTHON, you need to follow below steps
Step#1.
opening shell/command-prompt
Step#2.
$>cd (change dir) to directory you want to be root of your server
Step#4.
create a directory name 'cgi-bin' or 'htbin', say "mkdir cgi-bin"
Step#5.
copy all your CGI-scripts to this newly created 'cgi-bin' directory
Step#6.
now if anyhow you changed your directory, change it back to Parent Dir of created dir 'cgi-bin'
Step#7.
now run this command without quotes
"python -m CGIHTTPServer"
Finally, [ Say yyippppeeeee... ] Thanks...
now you have a CGI supported Simple HTTP Server running, that can be accessed at Port 8000 of your Server's IP/Name
so you can test it by browsing in any web browser at http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000/
and like if you copied any script 'time' to cgi-bin then its accessible at http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000/cgi-bin/time

is( PYTHON installed ){ Yes: you have a simple HTTP server }
is Python installed, you already have Simple HTTP Server
if you need any simple plain web-server on your machine to server files (html or else)
and
if you have PYTHON installed over your machine
then
you don't need anything else
because
you can run PYTHON itself in Simple HTTP Server mode to serve files from any directory you need
by
following below steps
Step#1.
[ opening shell/command-prompt ]
Step#2.
[ $>cd (change dir) to directory you want to be root of your server ]
Step#3.
[ run this command without quotes "python -m SimpleHTTPServer" ]
