SimpleHTTPServer not found python3

Question

I'm trying to write a simple server in python. I'm trying to import a few modules:

from http.server import HTTPServer
from http.server import SimpleHTTPServer

Because the doc says it has been moved.

But it gives me this error : from http.server import SimpleHTTPServer ImportError: cannot import name 'SimpleHTTPServer'

And without SimpleHTTPServer I can't use SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, as it is defined in SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.

Answer 1

The SimpleHTTPServer module was moved to be the module http.server. So the command is:

python3 -m http.server

Also, the new SimpleHTTPRequestHandler object is BaseHTTPRequestHandler.
