Add "python"? #6

Closed evertalbers closed 6 years ago

Running ./ssi_server as mentioned in the doc did not work on my Mac, I did some Googling and found that I have to use something like python ssi_server.py. Probably a Python configuration issue on my Mac, but I don't know anything about Python, and I thought I'd let you know. More noobs might run into this.

Thanks for creating ssi-server, saves me lots of copy-pasting when building HTML prototypes!

The shebang line (#!/usr/bin/env python) means that these should do the same thing. So this is likely an issue with your Python setup.

Glad the server has helped you. You might want to take a look at static site generators like Jekyll. If I'd known about them in 2013 I probably wouldn't have written this!

The advantage of ssi-server over static site generators is that you only have to install a couple of minimal files and that you can transfer the whole project "as is" to any shared webhosting environment to show it to remote co-workers/clients. So it was no wasted time, if you ask me :-)
