standalone python web server

[eric]

Hi all,

I want to setup simple python web server and I want it to just unzip
and run, without any installation steps (have no right to do it).

I've tried to write by myself, however, I find I am getting into more
details like processing image file, different file type(like FLV) ..
etc. Any recommendation or tools suggested for me?

Thanks,
Eric

Django[1], has an internal webserver, you might wanna take a look into
it, as to how it's done. Other than that, Twisted[2], makes it pretty
easy to write one.

Look at SimpleHTTPServer in standard library.

You'd have to write it on your own anyway if you do not want to use
ready-made server software like lighttpd or nginx.

Which OS? You might run into authorisation problems if you want it
to listen on port 80 TCP.

thanks.
Actually, I've considered to use django, however it required to run
command (which I don't have right to do it)
python setup.py install

Btw, is it possible to use without running setup.py ?

I'm not planned to use port 80, cause this simple web server is
designed to monitor my set of backend server.

in googling, I find a simple python web server "SNAKELETS", it can
just unzip to run. However, this project seems stale for sometime.

Anyone know anything about it?

For such cases you can use workingenv/virtualenv to create running
python environments in directories of your choice. Then you can use the
above commandline.

Yes, it's quite possible...Django is pure Python, so you just have to
have its directory in your runtime path. I've got several machines that
have never used "setup.py install" to get Django...I just use a SVN
checkout, but an untar/gzip would do just as well.

If you do not want to use/extend SimpleHTTPServer from the standard
library and want to have something more like Django (i.e. a Web
Framework) give Gluon http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/ a try. It does not
require installation. For Windows just extract the .zip archive and
launch runme.exe. Everything is included, even Python. Same for Mac.
For Linux the source tarball requires Python 2.4 or newer.

No installation, no configuration, everything can be done from within
the browser. Watch the screencast at the Gluon homepage for a quick
overview.

Have fun,
Markus

CherryPy has a built in web server that can be installed without admin
rights (it is pure Python), and can easily be configured to serve up
static files.

Just something to think about.
