The situation is similar to Zope. It has its own perfectly capable
web server -- which doesn't do SSL, and runs on a non-standard port by
default. In production, most people put it behind Apache and/or Squid
for various reasons, but you can also just switch the built in server
to port 80 and use it.
I'd think whatever the Zope package does would be a good starting point.
