SimpleHTTPServer not found python3

Question

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 ?

The SimpleHTTPServer was moved to be the module http.server. You want to use the request handler class BaseHTTPRequestHandler. From the docs. – Mannikin

If you're using Python 3 it's probably best to refer to those docs, not the ones for Python 2. – Bounteous

thanks.. it worked ... you should post it as answer.. @Mannikin – Egress

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.

Answer 2

My solution was:

python -m http.server

If I type python3 on the console is printed "Python not found". (I'm on Windows)
