I always forgot which commands to run to use python simple http server, so I build it as an executable using pyinstaller.
You can either

  • copy web.exe on the directory where it is needed
  • add web.exe in your path to use it anywhere

Compile:

pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller web.py --onefile

Usage:

web

Share the current folder on port 8000.

web 42

Share the current folder on port 42
