Creating new python environment

With venv you cannot install a different python version. With miniconda you can.

conda create --name cj9
conda info --envs
conda activate cj9

Installing latest python version

#conda install python=3.10 # gives 3.10.4
#conda install python=3.10.5 # not found
conda install --channel conda-forge python==3.10.5

Channel conda forge provides latest packages

!!! WIP !!! I was surprised that running python3 -m http.server could serve WebASM.

But what about HTTPS? According to https://blog.anvileight.com/posts/simple-python-http-server/ this could be possible using

#!/usr/bin/env python
# FILE: server.py

import socket

HOST = ''
PORT = 3000
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.bind((HOST, PORT))
    s.listen(1)
    conn, addr = s.accept()
    with conn:
        print('Connected by', addr)
        while True:
            data = conn.recv(1024)
            if data == b'\n':
                break
            conn.sendall(data)

then

python server.py

and

netcat localhost 3000

to test against
