ASW Python Dev Server Pack

Drop-in replacement for python -m http.server with ASW-styled error pages and directory listings.

Usage

# Copy to your project
cp asw_server.py /path/to/project/

# Run it
python asw_server.py              # port 8000
python asw_server.py 3000         # custom port
python asw_server.py 3000 /dir    # custom port + custom directory

What you get

• ASW-styled error pages for all HTTP error codes (403, 404, 500, etc.)
• ASW-styled directory listings replacing the browser-default autoindex
• Auto port fallback — if 8000 is busy, tries 8001, 8002… up to 10 attempts
• Inline styles — no external CSS dependency, works even when serving offline

How it works

ASWHandler subclasses SimpleHTTPRequestHandler and overrides:

• send_error() — returns ASW-styled HTML instead of the default ugly page
• list_directory() — returns a clean table layout instead of raw <pre>

Styles are inlined directly in the response — no link to asw.css required. The colour scheme matches the full ASW dark theme.

No dependencies

Just Python 3 standard library. Nothing to install.
