How to create a webpage that can be accessed by other IPs (Python wsgiref.simple_server)

How to config that host apart from localhost so that it can be accessed by other computers as well?
Is it doable?

from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server



def hello_world(environ, start_response):

    status = '200 ok'

    headers = [('Content-type','text/plain')]

    start_response(status, headers)



    return ['Hello World']



def run():

    httpd = make_server(localhost, 8000, hello_world)

    print 'Serving on port 80...'

    httpd.serve_forever()



if __name__ == '__main__':

    run()

Simply pass an empty string as the hostname, and it will bind to your public network interface:

httpd = make_server('', 8000, hello_world)

If you're using Windows, you can confirm this with netstat as follows. When I pass 'localhost' as the first argument, it binds to 127.0.0.1:

PS C:Userscody> netstat -a -n | findstr LISTENING | findstr :8000

  TCP    127.0.0.1:8000         0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

When I pass '', it binds to 0.0.0.0, which essentially means "all interfaces":

PS C:Userscody> netstat -a -n | findstr LISTENING | findstr :8000

  TCP    0.0.0.0:8000           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

Now even if you're successfully listening on a public interface, if you have a firewall running you may have to disable it before anything external will be able to connect.

Hi, if I use an empty string, does it mean that I'm using my local host address? Then it still can't be accessed by other computers?
