Comanche Description

An extremely simple HTTP (web) server written entirely in Python Comanche does not use any of the many Python standard library modules related to HTTP serving, as it was initially written as a learning exercise. At present Comanche does not support SSL or CGI and uses a simple fork-on-demand architecture, but is being actively improved.Comanche is named after an American Indian tribe, like some other web servers you may have heard of (Apache, Cherokee).At the moment, Comanche is really only good for two things:· You could read the code to learn about Python socket programming, the HTTP protocol and forking server architectures.· You could use it to serve websites and files to an internal network where you know everyone can be trusted not to exploit security flaws and you won't lose a lot of face if your sites go down.NOTE: PrettyTable is licensed and provided under the terms of the BSD License.
