python -m http.server giving invalid syntax - echowit - May-15-2018
This should say it all:
According to all the X3DOM literature this should be a simple do.
Python was installed successfully in my 'site' directory which also holds my index.html file.
Caveat: I do not wish to become a server SW engineer, I just wanna use X3D's <inline> function.

Your image isn't working. Can you just copy/paste whatever's in the terminal?

Python 2 or Python 3?
Which version do you have installed?
For Python 2 the module is called SimpleHTTPServer. So it is going to be:
python -m SimpleHTTPServerPython 3:
python3 -m http.server

Thanks for the reply.
My V is 3.6.5 and either way (python or python3) the return is:
file "<stdin>", line 1
python3 -m http.server 8000
(up caret under the 'p') ((Alt 94 doesn't work?)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I tried
import http.serverand it ran OK seemingly.
help(hhtp.server)ran OK too (hard to get out of tho).
I don't know . . .

python [...etc] should be run from the command line/terminal, not from an interactive python session.

D'oh! Been too many years since my command line days. Gotta crawl back out of that Window.
'preciate the prompt reply, Localhost is playimg nice and the X3D <inline> link is working great.
