Each server instance serves a single WSGI application on a given host and port. If you want to serve multiple applications on a single host and port, you should create a WSGI application that parses PATH_INFO to select which application to invoke for each request. (E.g., using the shift_path_info function from wsgiref.util.)\n\nCreate a new WSGI server listening on host and port, accepting connections for app. The return value is an instance of the supplied server_class, and will process requests using the specified handler_class. app must be a WSGI application object, as defined by 3333.\n\nThis function is a small but complete WSGI application that returns a text page containing the message \"Hello world!\" and a list of the key/value pairs provided in the environ parameter. It's useful for verifying that a WSGI server (such as !wsgiref.simple_server) is able to run a simple WSGI application correctly.\n\nThe start_response callable should follow the .StartResponse protocol.\n\nCreate a WSGIServer instance. server_address should be a (host,port) tuple, and RequestHandlerClass should be the subclass of http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler that will be used to process requests.\n\nYou do not normally need to call this constructor, as the make_server function can handle all the details for you.\n\nWSGIServer is a subclass of http.server.HTTPServer, so all of its methods (such as serve_forever and handle_request) are available. WSGIServer also provides these WSGI-specific methods\n\nNormally, however, you do not need to use these additional methods, as set_app is normally called by make_server, and the get_app exists mainly for the benefit of request handler instances.\n\nCreate an HTTP handler for the given request (i.e. a socket), client_address (a (host,port) tuple), and server (WSGIServer instance).\n\nYou do not need to create instances of this class directly; they are automatically created as needed by WSGIServer objects. You can, however, subclass this class and supply it as a handler_class to the make_server function. Some possibly relevant methods for overriding in subclasses\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
