PyWeb

Implementation of a very simple webserver in Python (using Python3.8 to figure out new syntax) to learn and understand how it works.

How to use it?

Install Python3.8 from deadsnakes ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.8*
$ git clone https://github.com/ghostbill/pyweb.git
$ cd pyweb/
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip install --update pip
(venv) $ pip install pyramid
(venv) $ pip install flask
(venv) $ pip install django Start the server with:
(venv) $ python3 demoserver.py # Initial barebones server OR
(venv) $ python3 wsgiapp.py flaskapp:app # Test the wsgi concept with a flask app OR
(venv) $ python3 wsgiapp.py pyramidapp:app # Test the wsgi concept with a pyramid app OR
(venv) $ python3 wsgiapp.py flaskapp:app # Test the wsgi concept with a flask app

After trying one of the command to start/test the server go to your browser and type http://localhost:7777/hello or open a new terminal and type $ curl -v http://localhost:7777/hello

To test for concurrency:

Try running multiple instances of http://localhost:7777/hello in your browser and curl -v http://localhost:7777/hello in your terminal and see how your server can handle multiple requests at the same time.
