Simple Zope HTTP Server

I've seen mention of every conceivable Python web framework as of late. Mostly performance comparisons. One I don't see that often is Zope. It is a mature framework that does everything under the sun. I think it isn't mentioned that often by developers because of the lack of documentation.

The good news is that Zope code is easy to read and understand. I decided to experiment and create a really simple HTTP server with Zope HTTPServer. I find the task-oriented view of each HTTP request both interesting and useful. Here is what I came up with:

import asyncore
from zope.server.http.httpserver import HTTPServer
from zope.server.http.httptask import HTTPTask
from zope.server.taskthreads import ThreadedTaskDispatcher

class MyServer(HTTPServer):
  
   def executeRequest(self, task):
      
       task.start()
      
       self.log_info("Starting request task.")

       task.response_headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
       task.response_headers['Content-Length'] = 5

       task.write(task.request_data.command)
       task.write(" ")
       task.write(task.request_data.uri)   

       task.finish()

       self.log_info("Rquest task finished.")
      
if __name__ == "__main__":
  
   dispatcher = ThreadedTaskDispatcher()
   dispatcher.setThreadCount(10)
  
   MyServer('', 8084, task_dispatcher = dispatcher)

   try:       
       while True:
           asyncore.poll(5)
   except KeyboardInterrupt:
       dispatcher.shutdown()
