python SimpleHTTPServer with custom MIME types

server.py

import SimpleHTTPServer
import SocketServer

PORT = 8000

class Handler(SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    pass

Handler.extensions_map['.shtml'] = 'text/html'

httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler)

print "serving at port", PORT
httpd.serve_forever()

Thanks! This is very handy.
