Using web.py as non blocking http-server

Question

while learning some basic programming with python, i found web.py. i got stuck with a stupid problem:

i wrote a simple console app with a main loop that proccesses items

Answer 1

I found a working solution. In a seperate module i create my webserver:

import web
import threading
class MyWebserver(threading.Thread):

    def run (self):
        urls = ('/', 'MyWebserver')
        app = web.application(urls, globals())
        app.run()

    def POST ...

In the main programm i just call

MyWebserver().start()

and than go on with whatever i want while having the webserver working in the background.
