SimpleHTTPServer not found python3

I'm trying to write a simple server in python. So after watching tutorial, I'm trying to import a few modules.

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

As the doc says, it has been moved, that's why i'm doing so.

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.

How can I resolve this ?

Solution

  • 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.
