Sometimes I have a short term requirement to serve some data by http, so I've been using those modules rather than setting up a full featured web server. Some Python users have told me that isn't a good idea, but without any specifics.
Are there any known problems with them such as security bugs, or in the py3 equivalents (server module)? I haven't had issues so far because it's just been ad hoc stuff for known clients, but they are much simpler to set up than something like Apache, so I don't see why not to make more use of them for low-traffic pages. Any thoughts/stories/cautions would be appreciated. Thanks -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
