ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'BaseHTTPServer'

Question

So I am trying to follow a tutorial online on how to work with web.py, and I got it installed but unfortunately, using this piece of code yields a nasty error. My Code...

import web

urls = (
    '/(.*)', 'index'
)

app = web.application(urls, globals())


class index:
    def GET(self, name):
        return "Hello", name, '. How are you today?'

if __name__== "__main__":
    app.run()

MY ERROR:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.exe C:/Users/User/PycharmProjects/Webprojects/main.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/User/PycharmProjects/Webprojects/main.py", line 15, in <module>

    return httpserver.runsimple(func, server_addr)

    func = LogMiddleware(func)
  File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\web\httpserver.py", line 296, in __init__
    from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'BaseHTTPServer'

Process finished with exit code 1

Answer 1

That import line won't work in Python 3 which moved BaseHTTPServer to http.server.HTTPServer

In your specific case you should update web.py to the current version that works with Python 3.
