waitress-serve: Set the URL scheme to HTTPS.
$ waitress-serve --url-scheme=${https} ${import-path:wsgi_func}
try on your machine

This command is used to start a Waitress server and serve a WSGI application.

Let me break down the command for you:

waitress-serve is the command to start the Waitress server.

--url-scheme=${https} specifies the URL scheme to be used. In this case, it is using the variable ${https} to define the URL scheme. The value of the variable is not provided in the command itself but can be set elsewhere in the environment or configuration.

${import-path:wsgi_func} specifies the import path to the WSGI callable application function. The value of the variable is also not provided in the command. Instead, it is expected to be set elsewhere and will be imported as the WSGI application function to be served by the Waitress server.

In summary, this command starts a Waitress server, defines the URL scheme and the WSGI application to be served. The specific values for the URL scheme and the import path of the WSGI application function are not provided in the command itself but need to be set elsewhere.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
