Single line Webserver in Python

Question

Is there any single line implementation of a webserver? I know about SimpleHTTPServer and how it works but it was something different which was also using Socket and select().

I thought it was on the Python Tutor mailing list, but an archive search hasn't revealed anything, nor has a google search. Can anyone help me with the original link?

Answer 1

It is pretty difficult to have a webserver using sockets and select() on one line of code. Not even using semicolons, you'd have to have some loops and control structures.

This is the nearest I could find. Is this something similar to what you are looking for?

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
Python 3 version: python -m http.server 8000
