Python web server

If we want to test a web site or share some files with another person we can have a web server running quickly with python only running one command:

• Run a web server on the current directory:

$ python3 -m http.server

• Run a web server on other directory:

$ python3 -m http.server --directory /other/directory

• Run a web server on another port

Python web server listens to port 8000 by default. The default port can be overriden by passing the desired port number as argument:

$ python3 -m http.server 443

Enjoy! ;)
