PyWebServer

Aim to build a 'real' web server from the very beginning in python

Installation

PyWebServer requires Python 2.x >= 2.6.

Install from archive file (it hasn't been uploaded to PyPI yet):

$ pip install https://github.com/laszo/PyWebServer/archive/v0.1.zip

Usage

Serving static files:

$ pwserver static [-f PATH]

Configuration file format is nginx like:

http {
    server {
        listen 8081;
        location / {
            root /Users/data/www;
        }
    }
    server {
        listen 8082;
        location /static/ {
            root /Users/data/static;
        }
    }
}

Default config file is at /etc/pwserver.conf.

Serving WSGI Application

If you have a WSGI application at hello.py:

.. code-block:: python def demoapp(env, start_response): start_response('200 OK', [('Content-type', 'text/plain')]) return ['hello, world']

You can serving it by:

$ pwserver -w hello:demoapp
