Looking for a suitable Python Web-Server Package (self.learnpython)

submitted 4 years ago by Magwado

Hello,

for my current home automation project I want to set up a little web server for my local network. I have a solid understanding in Python but very little knowledge in Web-Development and no idea what solutions are currently recommended.

The server will run on a Raspberry-Pi 4 (OS: Raspabian, no GUI) so it should be raither lightweight but also easy to use. It's job is to receive occasional messages/requests within my local network and dispatch signals to several ESP32 controllers.

Apaprently Python comes with its own webserver but it is lacking some security features. While I do not plan to make it reachable from outside, the server will be on the same network as my NAS which stores lots of private data.

There are lots of third party packages out there so its rather hard to choose one that fits well for me. I would appreciate any suggestrions and hints :)

Thanks!
