Question

What is the Python 3 equivalent of `python -m SimpleHTTPServer`?

Answer 1

The Python 2 SimpleHttpHandler module has been superseded in Python 3 by the module http.server. The Python 2 command-line string,

python -m SimpleHttpServer

has become

python3 -m http.server <port number>

where <port number> is an arbitrary port number of your choosing.

(Be sure to import http.server in your code.)
