This module is intended to be imported into any script requiring a simple HTTP status reporting page. This optionally supports threading as well, defining the run_threaded and make_thread methods.

Setup

This module can be installed using:

pip install simplestatusserver

Module Interface

This module only contains a single (fully documented) class: SimpleStatusServer. This cass can be instantiated to generate and when desired, run, a simple HTTP server. This server will report the data contained within that instance's status attribute as json. The instance itself may also be used as a dictionary, passing along all the data contained withing its status If the threading module is imported (which can be checked using the module's STATUS_SERVER_THREADING_POSSIBLE constant), threading related running methods are also defined for this class. Refer to the docstrings for each method for more information. This module contains type hints.

Example

from simplestatusserver import SimpleStatusServer, STATUS_SERVER_THREADING_POSSIBLE as THREADING_POSSIBLE
#Note: this example presumes that the threading module is available!
assert THREADING_POSSIBLE, "The threading module must be available for this example to work!"

#some code here...

server = SimpleStatusServer(init_status = {"hello": "world"})
server["world"] == "hello" #returns True
server["status"] = "starting..."
#now run the http server
server.run_threaded(debug = True)

#perhaps a startup routine here?

server["status"] = "running"
del server["world"] #lets remove this key...

try:
  #the main part of a script here...
  pass
except Exception as e:
  server["error"] = str(e)
  server["error code"] = 1

#finish off things here...

print("all done!")
