Python Show webpage on connect to server

Question

I built a server using JavaScript that displayed a webpage when you connected to it. The server sent the htm file upon connection using

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.sendfile('index.htm');
});

Is there a similar function in Python?

Answer 1

import SimpleHTTPServer
import SocketServer

PORT = 8000

Handler = SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler)

print "serving at port", PORT
httpd.serve_forever()
