simple cool python
Ok, this has been mentioned elsewhere already, but I thought I would post it to my site too. Got Python? (get it if you don’t!) Need a quick webserver? (who doesn’t!?) Try this from the command line:
python -c ‘import SimpleHTTPServer;SimpleHTTPServer.test()’
Bam. Instant web server. Serving on port 8000 from the directory you called python from. One of the other Python folks linked above even has a way to add it to your right-click menu in Windows so you can right-click in a folder and select ‘Serve from here’. Pretty handy.
