http-server
A minimal, probably-definitely-not-RFC-compliant HTTP server with an almost flask-ish API implemented from scratch using Python sockets and threads
Don't use this for anything serious.
- There is no live demo because I'm scared to put it online.
API Docs
Found here:

Dependencies
Zero outside of the standard library, of which this project only uses socket and threading.
This means you can clone and run this right away!
Note: Use python 3.6 or higher, because this uses f-strings.
Running
$ python app.py
What do you mean "flask-ish?"
It looks kind of like Flask on the surface (mainly the decorator based routing)
Flask:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
def hello():
return "Hello World!"This thing:
from server import Server
app = Server()
@app.route("/")
def hello(request, response):
response.body = "Hello World!"Limitations
- Does not implement all or most of HTTP
- Pretty bad at the parts of HTTP it does implement
- Super brittle, probably
