An attempt to create the simplest HTTP Hello world in Python3

server.py

import http.server
import socketserver
from http import HTTPStatus


class Handler(http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        self.send_response(HTTPStatus.OK)
        self.end_headers()
        self.wfile.write(b'Hello world')


httpd = socketserver.TCPServer(('', 8000), Handler)
httpd.serve_forever()


# python3 server.py
# 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Apr/2017 11:36:49] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
# http :8000

Hello world

hi can you add more examples like routes localhost:PORT/home type and how to handle them

@vaibhavkumar049 the do_GET method will perform a listing directory, if you want to serve static content - even index.html files - through the server make sure that URLs match your directory structure (NOT recommended for anything near production 😱)

Hi I did that it like this
def do_GET(self): if self.path=='/': do something elif self.path=='/home': do something else: do something

even you can use enums

@vaibhavkumar049 sure, at that point, you may even want to use a dedicated lib for that, like autoroutes (shameless plug).

yeah, I had very small task so I was fine with self.path , but sure I will keep that in mind
