In today's article, I use a contrived scenario to show you how to spin up a quick Python server...

I couldn't actually come up with any good reasons to do this (that apply to many people), so I just kinda made one up.

How To: Start A Quick Python Server • Linux Tips

Today's article is going to show you how to transfer files between computers by using a quick Python server. It's remarkably easy!

It actually does come in handy and I do spin up said server now and then. It's also handy if I have multiple devices all needing to access files on a single computer. You can stream media with it, for example. I probably should have mentioned that in the article, now that I think about it!

Like always, feedback is appreciated. Your feedback makes the articles better. With enough feedback, they'll eventually be pretty good!

You were thinking of me, weren't you?

It can be useful if you are using a static content generator(or something similar having to do with webpages) and want to test something locally without having to spin up a full webserver.

I almost wrote 'glasses of wine', but I didn't want to make it too specific! (And yes, yes I've been there and done that.)

a static content generator

Indeed. I'll sometimes use it as a quick way to test some HTML and CSS while editing the file in a plain text editor. It does have some actual uses.

Out of curiosity I just looked up the default Python modules (looking for a list) and found out my article's name is not really all that unique. Oops.
