waitress-serve: Listen on port 8080 on localhost.
$ waitress-serve --listen=${localhost}:${8080} ${import-path:wsgi_func}
try on your machine

This command is used to run a Python web application using the Waitress server.

Here's a breakdown of the different parts:

  • waitress-serve: This is the command to start the Waitress server.
  • --listen=${localhost}:${8080}: This option specifies the network location where the server should listen for incoming requests. In this case, it will listen on the local machine (localhost) and the port 8080.
  • ${import-path:wsgi_func}: This is the import path to the WSGI callable that will handle the web application. The ${import-path:} syntax is used to specify the path to the Python module containing the WSGI callable.

Overall, this command starts the Waitress server, specifies the network location to listen to, and provides the import path to the WSGI callable for handling the web application.
