run

✓ from httpserver import run

✗ from httpserver import HTTPServer

Creates a simple HTTP server responding with 'Hello, world!' on GET requests.

import os from httpserver import HTTPServer, RequestHandler class HelloHandler(RequestHandler): def do_GET(self): self.send_response(200) self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/plain') self.end_headers() self.wfile.write(b"Hello, world!") server = HTTPServer(('localhost', 8080), HelloHandler) print('Server running on http://localhost:8080') server.serve_forever()

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe server runs on the event loop; ensure your handler methods are not blocking or use async callbacks.

fix

Make handler methods async or offload blocking calls to executor.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe library is minimally maintained. For production, consider aiohttp or sanic.

fix

Evaluate if the library meets long-term needs.

affects: *

breakingIn version 1.1.0, the signature of HTTPServer changed: the first argument is now a tuple (host, port) instead of separate arguments.

fix

Change from HTTPServer('localhost', 8080, ...) to HTTPServer(('localhost', 8080), ...).

affects: <1.1.0
