I was not able to start since some service is already running on 8000, I was able to successfully start the service on another port 2000

C:\>python -m SimpleHTTPServer 2000
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 2000 ..

One can get the PID/status for port 8000 by netstat -ano

C:\>netstat -ano

Active Connections

  Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address        State           PID
  TCP    0.0.0.0:912            0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       2544
  TCP    0.0.0.0:8000           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4
  TCP    0.0.0.0:19781          0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       3100

shows PID 4 which is a system process.

Your windows firewall may block python from listening. Additionaly, try adding a different port number higher than 1024 to the command line and see if it helps.
