pWebServer

Small, asynchronous web server for use with Raspberry Pi Pico W boards and similar

Background

I wanted something small and reusable to work with my raspberry pi pico w and didn't find anything in the wild. This is a work in progress, but I intend for it to be stable for at least my own use.

Notes

This library is not designed to be particularly fast, however it is intended to be easy to use.

HTTP Methods

Self-defined methods are not currently supported. PATCH, CONNECT, and TRACE are also not implmented

Paths

Simple paths are supported. Complex path matching is not supported.

For example, in some frameworks you might be able to define a path as

/some/path/to/:id

And that would populate the id property or some other variable with the value, for pWebServer that is not the case.

For dynamic data use query strings

Example (micropython - if installed with mip):

from pWebServer.pWebServer import Server
import uasyncio as asyncio

sv = Server()
sv.add_default_route() # simply adds a route at / that returns 200 OK
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.create_task(sv.start()) # Start serving for 0.0.0.0 (all ipv4 ips) on port 80
loop.run_forever()

Requirements

python >=3.11 or micropython >=1.20

installing

python (with pypi)

pip install pWebServer

micropython (with mip & url)

Using repl:

import mip
mip.install("github:sjsadowski/pWebServer", version="latest")

Using mpremote:

mpremote mip install github:sjsadowski/pWebServer

Dependencies

MicroPython

MicroPython does not ship with the full set of Python Standard Libraries. For information about this, check the micropython-lib GitHub repo .
