werkzeug.run_simple

werkzeug.run_simple(hostname, port, application, use_reloader=False, use_debugger=False, use_evalex=True, extra_files=None, reloader_interval=1, reloader_type='auto', threaded=False, processes=1, request_handler=None, static_files=None, passthrough_errors=False, ssl_context=None)[source]

Start a WSGI application. Optional features include a reloader, multithreading and fork support.

This function has a command-line interface too:

python -m werkzeug.serving --help

New in version 0.5: static_files was added to simplify serving of static files as well as passthrough_errors.

New in version 0.6: support for SSL was added.

New in version 0.8: Added support for automatically loading a SSL context from certificate file and private key.

New in version 0.9: Added command-line interface.

New in version 0.10: Improved the reloader and added support for changing the backend through the reloader_type parameter. See reloader for more information.

Parameters:
  • hostname – The host for the application. eg: 'localhost'
  • port – The port for the server. eg: 8080
  • application – the WSGI application to execute
  • use_reloader – should the server automatically restart the python process if modules were changed?
  • use_debugger – should the werkzeug debugging system be used?
  • use_evalex – should the exception evaluation feature be enabled?
  • extra_files – a list of files the reloader should watch additionally to the modules. For example configuration files.
  • reloader_interval – the interval for the reloader in seconds.
  • reloader_type – the type of reloader to use. The default is auto detection. Valid values are 'stat' and 'watchdog'. See reloader for more information.
  • threaded – should the process handle each request in a separate thread?
  • processes – if greater than 1 then handle each request in a new process up to this maximum number of concurrent processes.
  • request_handler – optional parameter that can be used to replace the default one. You can use this to replace it with a different BaseHTTPRequestHandler subclass.
  • static_files – a dict of paths for static files. This works exactly like SharedDataMiddleware, it’s actually just wrapping the application in that middleware before serving.
  • passthrough_errors – set this to True to disable the error catching. This means that the server will die on errors but it can be useful to hook debuggers in (pdb etc.)
  • ssl_context – an SSL context for the connection. Either an ssl.SSLContext, a tuple in the form (cert_file, pkey_file), the string 'adhoc' if the server should automatically create one, or None to disable SSL (which is the default).
