I don't believe I've come across anything like that, but it would be kinda neat to have a shell script that popped up a single nginx/fastcgi process and then opened your browser to localhost and some unused port.  Maybe lighttpd would be smaller than nginx?

Either way it would be a hack, not a neat deal like the python server.
