Need to testcase a complex webapp which does some interacting with a remote 3rd party cgi based webservices. Iam planing to implement some of the 3rd party services in a dummy webserver, so that i have full controll about the testcases.

Answer 1

Use cherrypy, take a look at Hello World:

import cherrypy  class HelloWorld(object):     def index(self):         return 'Hello World!'     index.exposed = True  cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld()) 

Run this code and you have a very fast Hello World server ready on localhost port 8080!! Pretty easy huh?
