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:

• (venv) $ python3 wsgidemoserver_con.py # To start the server

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.
