I also needed to know about this but realized that I was using the simplehttpserver package installed from npm (though internally it still uses the python version). I found out a bit more about the package here: https://github.com/tikonen/blog/tree/master/simplehttpserver. Although not mentioned in the docs, a quick read-through of the code points to the answer.

Here is what I found: simplehttpserver <-b bindhost> <-p port> <-m mimetype> <webroot>
