httpackage: Python HTTP Server Module

Overview

httpackage is a Python module that provides a simple HTTP server implementation. It allows you to define routes and corresponding handler functions, making it easy to create basic web applications or APIs. The module is distributed under the Apache License 2.0, giving you the freedom to use, modify, and distribute the code.

License

httpackage is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. You can find a copy of the license in the LICENSE file.

Installation

httpackage does not require any special installation steps. Simply run pip install httpackage in your python terminal and start using it.

Usage

The module provides the server class, which you can use to create an HTTP server. Below is an example of how to use the server class:

from httpackage import server

# Create an instance of the server
app = server()

# Define routes using the `site` decorator
@app.site('/')
def home():
    return 'Hello, world!'

@app.site('/about')
def about():
    return 'This is the about page.'

# Run the server
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='localhost', port=8080)

In the above example, we create a simple web application with two routes ('/' and '/about'). The home and about functions are the handlers for each route, which return the respective response.

API

class server

__init__(self)

site(self, path)

• path: The URL path for the route.

serve(self, environ, start_response)

A method to handle incoming HTTP requests.

• environ: The WSGI environment dictionary containing request details.
• start_response: A callback function to begin the HTTP response.

run(self, host='localhost', port=8080)

Start the HTTP server and begin serving requests.

• host: The hostname or IP address on which the server will listen.
• port: The port number on which the server will listen.
