Command-Line Usage

You can run the server directly from the command line using the following syntax :

Start Server with Host and Port

localrun --host <HOST> --port <PORT>

Programmatic Usage

You can also use localrun as a module in your Python scripts.

Example Script

Here's how to start the server programmatically :

# example_script.py
import localrun

# Start the server in silent mode
running_address = localrun.run_server('127.0.0.1', 8000, silent=True)

# Print the running address
print(f"Running port is: {running_address}")

Running Without Silent Mode

To start the server without silent mode:

# example_script.py
import localrun

# Start the server
running_address = localrun.run_server('127.0.0.1', 8000)

# Print the running address
print(f"Running port is: {running_address}")

Logging Format

In non-silent mode, the server logs HTTP requests in the following format:

localrun - - [25/Oct/2024 23:01:50] "GET /new/instance/ HTTP/1.1" 200 -
