To request automatic assignment of a local port number, "-p 0" could
be made to work correctly (i.e. print out the actual port the OS
assigned rather than the 0 that was passed in on the command line as
it does currently).
I was able to implement this without too much trouble. I also changed it
so -b and -p switches can be used together to override the automatic port
selection. The default is port 0.
I think idle uses automatic port selection now also. Does it have a way to
select a specific port? Is the -p option needed with automatic port selection.
I added a command prompt like the help> prompt. Here's what starting the
server, opening a browser, and then stopping the server looks like.
r...@gutsy:/media/hda2/home/ra/svn/py3k$ ./python -m pydoc -p 0
Server ready at: http://localhost:50279/
Server commands: [b]rowser, [q]uit
server>b
server>q
Server stopped
[83680 refs]
r...@gutsy:/media/hda2/home/ra/svn/py3k$
I can add a [h]elp to get a longer help, but I'm not sure it's needed.
I want to have a [r]eport command to list the server requests since the
last report command was given. Sort of like a log. It may be useful to find
problems with what the server is sending and what the browser is requesting.
Should the server have a timeout in case the command window is not
reachable? If so, how long?
cheers,
Ron
