Mongoose web server does have a Python binding

Ignore post if read earlier via feed and seeing it again; only change is to fix a typo in post title.

In my previous post, about the Mongoose web server, I said I wished it had a Python binding.

It does have one. I must have missed seeing it due to the small screen of my mobile.

Many readers commented, telling me of my mistake. Thanks to all of them.

Though I saw the comments via Blogger email notifications, I could not publish any comments because 1) I only have my mobile right now, no laptop, 2) I am on vacation in a remote area, and 3) Blogger Android app does not support comments at all, and Blogger web UI does not work on my phone at all.

I must get a better phone or a tablet soon  ...

Wikipedia article on mongooses is interesting:

I had seen a few mongooses when I used to roam around in the forests in Central India when I was a kid.

Mongoose, tiny C web server and library

mongoose - Mongoose - easy to use web server - Google Project Hosting

Just saw this. The site says Mongoose is very small, written in C, and can be used both standalone and  as a library, to embed a web server in your applications. Seems potentially useful.

I had blogged about an IBM developerWorks article by Cameron Laird about lightweight web servers earlier, on this blog, IIRC.

The area interests me because it seems to have a lot of possibilities. And much earlier, I had blogged about web servers running on mobile phones, on my earlier blog,  jugad's Journal - http://jugad.livejournal.com.  The point of that is that it enables phones to act as web servers, not just as clients. That could open up a lot of new applications and spur innovation.

Wonder what would happen if Mongoose met  Python?

Sorry, couldn't resist :-)

I actually meant it in a good sense, as in, if someone develops a Python binding for Mongoose, since it is a library. That could lead to a lot more usage of it.
