Serving static content - Python web server - Degree of containment

[Eric Marceau <ericmarceau [ at ] rogers [ dot ] com>]

Since the topic of serving a "frozen" site came  up, is the use of the 
built-in python server secure enough for such?  Or can bad actors break 
thru that to compromise the system's integrity?

 * python3  -m http.server ${serverPort} &

Would a proper firewall be required to prevent abuse, or would that 
Python server be good enough by itself, that it could operate on someone 
Desktop computer without risk?

Thank you in advance for the feedback, insights, and opinions.

Eric
