One class, HTTPServer, is a socketserver.TCPServer subclass. It creates and listens at the HTTP socket, dispatching the requests to a handler. Code to create and run the server looks like this def run(server_class=HTTPServer, handler_class=BaseHTTPRequestHandler): server_address = ('', 8000) httpd = server_class(server_address, handler_class) httpd.serve_forever() This class builds on the ~socketserver.TCPServer class by storing the server address as instance variables named server_name and server_port. The server is accessible by the handler, typically through the handler's ~socketserver.BaseRequestHandler.server instance variable. This class is identical to HTTPServer but uses threa Attribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
