Lightweight HTTP server for python desktop Application

Question

I am currently working on a desktop application in which a pair of this application will have to communicate with each other using HTTP meaning that both will server as a client/server simultaneously. What python webserver will suffice for such desktop application?

Answer 1

You haven't really given us much information, but depending on your use-case SimpleHTTPServer might suffice. It's in the standard library, which is convenient.

There's also Bottle , Flask , web.py ...

Answer 2

I have a sample HTTP server that you can find it here.

Answer 3

I think you are looking at a bi-directional HTTP communication.

You can get many resources over it. HTML5 websocket, my favourite.

Check this resource or BOSH.

Hope this helps.
