This is essential for resumable downloads, video streaming, and other scenarios where partial content retrieval is needed. The package is a minimal, zero-dependency module that can be run directly from the command line to serve files from the current directory with Range support enabled.\n\nIt's intended for developers who need a quick, local HTTP server with Range capabilities for testing, development, or serving static files\u2014not for production use. The dormant maintenance status and lack of recent commits suggest it is stable but receives minimal active development.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a simple, zero-dependency HTTP server with Range support for local testing or development. The low install friction and permissive license make it a lightweight choice. However, the dormant maintenance status and unspecified Python version support mean you should verify compatibility with your target Python version before relying on it in production or in new projects with strict version requirements."},"id":"rangehttpserver","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rangehttpserver","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rangehttpserver.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/rangehttpserver/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"rangehttpserver","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"SimpleHTTPServer with support for Range requests"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1216617,"position":4208,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.0"}
