Python has a built-in HTTP server!

You don’t need to install or configure anything to quickly spin up a simple web server in Python. It comes with a built-in HTTP server, perfect for quick testing or file sharing on your local network.

With just a single command, you can serve files from any directory:

python -m http.server

By default, this starts a server on port 8000, and you can access it by visiting http://localhost:8000 in your browser. You can also specify a different port, like this:

python -m http.server 8080

This is a super handy tool for quick file serving, development, or testing static websites without needing complex web server setups!
