If you ever need or want to create a webserver with the files in the current directory listed then just use this little snippet.

It will inform you of the address it is listening at or you can set the port via
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
With Python 3 you might want to use:
python3 -m http.server
The same method of setting the port with Python 3 too
python3 -m http.server 8080
