Smallest ever web server in Python

Suppose you want to compare Java to Python as far as writing a simple web server is concerned :-).

Without much ado, here's the code that does the same, in about half as many lines of code:

import os
import BaseHTTPServer


class SimplestWebHandler(
    BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
  def do_GET(self):
    self.send_response(200)
    self.end_headers()
    self.wfile.write('Hello, you requested '
      + self.path)


def main():
  server = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(('', 8000),
      SimplestWebHandler)
  print 'Server is looping.'
  server.serve_forever()


if __name__ == '__main__':
  main()
