waitress-serve: Run a Python web app.

waitress-serve

$ waitress-serve ${import-path:wsgi_func}

try on your machine

This command is used to start a web server using the Waitress library in Python. The server is instructed to serve a WSGI application provided via the import-path:wsgi_func argument.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

waitress-serve: This is the command to run the Waitress server. It is typically executed in the command line or terminal.
${import-path:wsgi_func}: This is an argument or option passed to the waitress-serve command. It specifies the location of the WSGI application to be served.

In this context, ${import-path:wsgi_func} is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual import path of the WSGI application. The import path indicates the location of the Python module or file that contains the WSGI application object or function.

For example, the import-path:wsgi_func might be replaced with something like myapp:app if myapp.py is the file containing the WSGI application and app is the function or object representing the application. This would allow Waitress to serve the specified WSGI application.
