Install Python Web for the first time

[davy_yg]

Hello,

This is my first time using Python. I only know the basic syntax of python but I never actually run the code itself.

Therefore, I am trying to figure out how to install Python web server on localhost ?

I have this installer - GoogleCloudSDKInstaller

When trying to install it:

hecking network connection...done.
Reachability Check passed.
Network diagnostic (1/1 checks) passed.

You must log in to continue. Would you like to log in (Y/n)? y

and it stops right there!

What else do I need to do?

Please advice me. Thanks in advance.

I find it odd you used a cloud installer to install this. https://www.google.com/search?q=install+Python+web+server+on+localhost finds the answer you just need to install Python and if this is on Windows, read the changes noted at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17351016/set-up-python-simplehttpserver-on-windows

PS. For Windows I'm using Ninite.com then checking off Python and using that installer.

choco install python

(See other thread)

Also, once Python is installed, you can use Python's package manager (pip) to download and install other packages. Django comes with a built in web server and there's even a very simple one that comes with Python itself.

Hi - You didn't mention which OS are you using to install Python and the server.
Anyways, as a first step, you should use the pip (Python's package manager) which comes bundled with the Python installer.
You can go to official Python site and try to download/install Python and use pip to install other packages.
