How to use cherrypy as a web server for static files?

This simple code will serve files on current directory.

import osimport cherrypyPATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))class Root(object): passcherrypy.tree.mount(Root(), '/', config={        '/': {                'tools.staticdir.on': True,                'tools.staticdir.dir': PATH,                'tools.staticdir.index': 'index.html',            },    })cherrypy.quickstart()

Here is some information on serving static content with CherryPy: http://docs.cherrypy.org/stable/progguide/files/static.html

BTW, here is a simple way to share the current directory over HTTP with python:

# Python 3$ python -m http.server [port]# Python 2$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer [port]

# encode: utf-8import cherrypyWEB_ROOT = "c:\\webserver\\root\\"class CServer( object ) :    @cherrypy.expose    def do_contact(self, **params):        passcherrypy.server.socket_port = 80# INADDR_ANY: listen on all interfacescherrypy.server.socket_host = '0.0.0.0'conf = { '/':  { 'tools.staticdir.on' : True,    'tools.staticdir.dir' : WEB_ROOT,    'tools.staticdir.index' : 'index.html' } }cherrypy.quickstart( CServer(), config = conf )
