BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer pick-a-port? - degenaro - Jul-05-2018
My code works beautifully and looks like this:
server_class = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer httpd = server_class((HOST_NAME, PORT), WebRequestHandler)What's wanted is for PORT to be a range, for example (25500-25510), and for the web server to pick one that is free. Possible?
Thanks.
Lou.

from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
HOST_NAME = 'localhost'
server_ok = False
for port in range(25500, 25511):
try:
server_class = HTTPServer
httpd = server_class((HOST_NAME, port), BaseHTTPRequestHandler)
server_ok = True
break
except Exception as e:
print(f'{port} - {e}')
continue
if server_ok:
httpd.serve_forever()
else:
print('All ports are busy!')
