If you want to use python to build a small server or just want to provide
web-base api with minimal efforts, you can just use python SimpleHTTPServer package as below:
import SimpleHTTPServer
SimpleHTTPServer.test()
With only two lines, that's really awesome. Right?
Or you can do as follows:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
the default port is 8000.
you can also alias it in your .bash_profile file
alias http="python -m SimpleHTTPServer"
Notes:
1. For web-based server, you can just return a json file for communication.
2.
Flask is as simple as SimpleHTTPServer, but it is more powerful in many ways. You can also find rich documentation on its official website.
