Honestly, just presenting it as a quick alternative for development. I found it easier to just run the Python SimpleHTTPServer from the directory I wanted to serve up, rather than remembering how to configure Apache and where to put all my files for Apache to serve them up. But, if you're familiar with Apache, and already have that configured, I'd go with that.
Thanks for the question, and for reading my article!

What is the advantage to use python instead of apache server, if any?
