Expose a directory on a local webserver with Python 3
Sometimes I want to view some html files from my file system in the
browser. With Python 2, you could use the SimpleHTTP-module to start a
web server with the current directory as document root like so:
$ ls .
foo.html
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
On my new Linux installation Manjaro linux the Python defaults to Python
3. Today I learned how to start a web server with Python 3:
$ ls .
foo.html
$ python -m http.server 8080
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8080 (http://0.0.0.0:8080/) ...
The port number is optional. Open http://localhost:8080/foo.html in your
web browser to view foo.html.
