This is the simplest way I know to get samba up and running. This isn’t the most secure, best, smartest, etc. It’s just for testing and getting up and running as quickly as possible.

Even if you’ve only dabbled with python for a minute or two, you’ve probably already figured out that you can print variables using placeholders. You might have tried concatenation too. However, did you know you can print using %s but with the variable names directly?

It doesn’t get much easier than this. However, you must add routes for static files such as style sheets and images. These are things that you may take for granted if you’re used to relying on standalone web servers.

(yum info meld, good utility)
