I recently bought Odroid XU4, a single-board computer with an ARM CPU. I try to run a simple web server using HTTTPServer on Python3.
import http.server
import socketserver
PORT = 8000
Handler = http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
with socketserver.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler) as httpd:
print("serving at port", PORT)
httpd.serve_forever()
This code runs well on my Mac machine. But when I try to run this on Odroid XU4, I got this error message.
$ python3 webserver.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 8, in <module>
with socketserver.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler) as httpd:
AttributeError: __exit__
Can anyone explain why I got this error? For your information, I’ve attached the information about the OS and Python interpreter.

From the documentation it would seem that the contextmanager protocol (with ...
) form for TCPServer
's base class (and therefore TCPServer
was added in python3.6. This is not available in python3.5
Changed in version 3.6: Support for the context manager protocol was added. Exiting the context manager is equivalent to calling
server_close()
.
Fortunately, you can use the previous approach. This roughly means taking your with statement and turning it into a plain assignment:
httpd = socketserver.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler)
print("serving at port", PORT)
httpd.serve_forever()
