Python WSGI simple example

# WSGI is the "Web Server Gateway Interface"

# It is a protocol for web servers.

# This example provides the easy_app function as the wsgi component

# When you run this example it will create a simple web server and you'll

# be able to browse to your wsgi web site at http://localhost:8000/

# To expand and improve this example take a gander at the wsgi site

# Python version >=2.5 should be able to run this example without

# additional libraries. Everything is included with python!

def easy_app(environ, start_response):

"""Easiest wsgi implementation ever!"""

status = '200 OK'

response_headers = [('Content-type','text/plain')]

start_response(status, response_headers)

return ['Python and WSGI Rules!\n']

from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server

httpd = make_server('', 8000, easy_app)

# reminder of where the website is being served

print("Browse to: http://localhost:8000/")

# run server for ever (you'll need to kill it to stop it)

httpd.serve_forever()
