Set up a local web server in 30 seconds using python 3's http.server

A super-easy way to set up a local web server that even beginners can do. Requires python environment.

Checking the python environment

If it is a mac, python2.7.x is included by default.

$ python -V
python 2.7.16

You can easily start a local web server with another module even with python 2 series, but ** python 2 is no longer supported on January 1, 2020 **, so python 3 is recommended.

python 3 series: use http.server module

Execute the following command in the terminal.

$ python -m http.server
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ...

The default port is 8000, but you can also specify the port number as follows.

python -m http.server 8080



 The web server starts with the directory where this command is executed as the root.
 Next, access one of the following addresses with a web browser.

#### **`http://localhost:8000`**

http://127.0.0.1:8000/

 As shown above, the executed directories and files are displayed in a list.
 This time, I ran a test program that displayed "Hello World!".

 success!

 After confirming, quit the local server with ``` Ctrl + c```.

# python 2: Use Simple HTTP Server module
 The procedure is the same as python 3.

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
