Check out my article on how to create a virtual environment for Python: <a href="https://www.oorkan.dev/blog/python/how-to-create-a-python-virtual-environment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">/blog/python/how-to-create-a-python-virtual-environment/</a>.</p> <p>To create a simple Python HTTP Server, we are going to use two modules called <code>http.server</code> and <code>socketserver</code>. They both are part of <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Python&rsquo;s Standard Library</a>, we don&rsquo;t need to install them.</p> <p><strong>Important!</strong> This material is made for learning purposes. <strong>DO NOT</strong> use it in production. <code>http.server</code> is not recommended for production. It only implements basic security checks.</p>
