But the original poster referred to installing the app on employee or 
customer laptops. httpd.conf is a text file which means writing a bit 
of Python code to whip it into shape for your custom app is doable and 
rather easy. In fact, I've done it for my own purposes.

Also, one could add a handler to Python's own HTTPServer as is 
discussed in later messages.

Having a separate web server means that restarting your app server is a 
delay for your users instead of an error message. In a production 
environment, that is fantastic.

I would prefer a subclass of HTTPServer that communicates with WebKit 
and even launches it if it is configured to run locally. Then you would 
have all the conveniences including restarting and one command to 
launch.
