The Spinneret workaround

Today I found myself with enough money to buy a Spinneret.
Unfortunately, I'm off to a Family Reunion in a few days, and wouldn't be at home if I ordered it now. :tongue:

Pining away for a Spinneret, I did the next best thing:
I made a socket listener using a bit of Python, and hooked it up to the serial port on my computer!

The Server is here: http://propeller.dyndns-ip.com:5007

Here is a link to the code for the Python Socket listener (it requires the pySerial module):

and Attached is the spin code for the server on the propeller.
Enjoy!

    Geez! I thought HTTP servers were easy in Perl, but Python looks even easier! The Serial module results in shorter code, too. 'May be time to learn a new language!

    Yes, It is easy. I spent about 45 minutes on the whole thing.
    I've never tried to implement an HTTP server before, so this was a first for me.
    I've found Python to be very useful and versatile, and Spin takes after many of it's best features.

    Well done.

    45 Minutes is what I'm taking about.

    I might have to take a second look at Python.
