Python3 http.sever invalid syntax

Question

Hello everyone! I am trying to get a basic python server running. But unfortunately it doesn't work and after hours of googling I have simply no clue.

I installed Python3, checked the version and differed the syntax, but it's no use: It always gives me an "invalid syntax" error. Anyone who knows what's going wrong?

thanks in advance !

You have to use that command on the command line:

i.e.

C:\Users\Marc>python -m http.server

this command calls the Windows equivalent directory of the Unix: /usr/lib/python3.x/http/server.py. So something like: C:\Python3x\Lib\http\server.py.
