From the docs      The SimpleHTTPServer module has been merged into http server in Python 3 0  The 2to3 tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to 3 0    So  your command is python -m http server  or depending on your installation  it can be   python3 -m http server

In addition to Petr s answer  if you want to bind to a specific interface instead of all the interfaces you can use -b or --bind flag   python -m http server 8000 --bind 127 0 0 1   The above snippet should do the trick  8000 is the port number  80 is used as the standard port for HTTP communications

Using 2to3 utility    cat try py import SimpleHTTPServer    2to3 try py RefactoringTool  Skipping implicit fixer  buffer RefactoringTool  Skipping implicit fixer  idioms RefactoringTool  Skipping implicit fixer  set literal RefactoringTool  Skipping implicit fixer  ws comma RefactoringTool  Refactored try py --- try py   original      try py   refactored     -1  1    -import SimpleHTTPServer  import http server RefactoringTool  Files that need to be modified  RefactoringTool  try py  Like many  nix utils  2to3 accepts stdin if the argument passed is -  Therefore  you can test without creating any files like so    2to3 -  lt  lt  lt   quot import SimpleHTTPServer quot

As everyone has mentioned http server module is equivalent to python -m SimpleHTTPServer  But as a warning from https   docs python org 3 library http server html module-http server  Warning  http server is not recommended for production  It only implements basic security checks   Usage http server can also be invoked directly using the -m switch of the interpreter  python -m http server  The above command will run a server by default on port number 8000  You can also give the port number explicitly while running the server python -m http server 9000  The above command will run an HTTP server on port 9000 instead of 8000   By default  server binds itself to all interfaces  The option -b --bind specifies a specific address to which it should bind  Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported  For example  the following command causes the server to bind to localhost only   python -m http server 8000 --bind 127 0 0 1  or python -m http server 8000 -b 127 0 0 1  Python 3 8 version also supports IPv6 in the bind argument  Directory Binding By default  server uses the current directory  The option -d --directory specifies a directory to which it should serve the files  For example  the following command uses a specific directory  python -m http server --directory  tmp   Directory binding is introduced in python 3 7

In one of my projects I run tests against Python 2 and 3  For that I wrote a small script which starts a local server independently     python -m   python -c  import sys  print  http server  if sys version info  2   gt   2 7  else  SimpleHTTPServer     Serving HTTP on 0 0 0 0 port 8000       As an alias     alias serve  python -m   python -c  import sys  print  http server  if sys version info  2   gt   2 7  else  SimpleHTTPServer        serve Serving HTTP on 0 0 0 0 port 8000       Please note that I control my Python version via conda environments  because of that I can use python instead of python3 for using Python 3
