Smisk 1.1.7 will not bring many new features, but one of them is a built-in HTTP server which can be used for local development, removing the need for a “real” HTTP server (e.g. Lighttpd or Apache httpd).
Simply give your application the --http flag:
$ ./app.py --http
httpd listening on localhost:8080 backed by application 6056
You can explicitly specify which host and/or what port the HTTP server should bind and listen to by instead using the --http-addr and --http-port flags.
$ ./app.py --http-port 8888
httpd listening on localhost:8888 backed by application 6034
$ ./app.py --http-port 8888 --http-addr 0.0.0.0
httpd listening on 0.0.0.0:8888 backed by application 6034
Your application will be started in a separate process as a stand-alone FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:5990 and a smisk.util.httpd.Server is started on the main thread, connecting to your application.
Trying out the key-value store example application:
$ examples/mvc/key-value-store/app.py --http
httpd listening on localhost:8080 backed by application 6126

It’s currently being tested in smisk/master and can thus be checked out, built and tested.
