About

Poor Http Server is standalone http server, which is designed for using python web applications. Unlike other projects, this is not framework, but single server type application. It is not depended on another special technologies or frameworks, only on base python library and it provides base API for making python web applications.

Server is not, and it could be not classic http server. It does not support cgi, directory listing or virtual hosting (HTTP/1.1 header). It goes well where it's better run python application in server mode. It is no need to other http server, but it is recommending to use real http server as proxy server before this application. Poor Http server application could be use as html gui of some system application for example too.
