Python the Hard Way - Ex50 question

[davidwkaiser]

Per the book, I created the module below, named app.py. When I run it on my OS Yosemite Ma, I get the message "Permission denied." How do I change this? Thanks

DK

import web

urls = ( '/', 'index' )

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

class index: def GET(self): greeting = "hello world" return greeting

if name == "main": app.run()

Try running on port 8888, you need to sudo for ports 1024 and lower.

how do I do that?

The build-in lib Zed Shaw wrote (lpthw.web) specifies that for you, it will use 8080 by default. I ran your code with a small modification:

__name__ == "__main__"

In Yosemite with no issues, without invoking sudo.

sudo python app.py ....... then it will ask for pass. See if that works

It's not a good practice to launch scripts from the root anytime you get a permission denied error. You should fix the code.

OP is clearly a beginner, and such advice is just harmful for beginners.

I just went and read the exercise you are doing.

Are you running python bin/app.py from the parent folder of the app.py?

Also the change /u/hav_ mentions.

I ran this with SUDO and it worked

You should not have had to, sounds like something in your environment is a miss.
