import SimpleHTTPServer, SocketServer
import urlparse, os

PORT = 3000
INDEXFILE = 'index.html'

class MyHandler(SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
   def do_GET(self):

    # Parse query data to find out what was requested
    parsedParams = urlparse.urlparse(self.path)

     # See if the file requested exists
    if os.access('.' + os.sep + parsedParams.path, os.R_OK):
        # File exists, serve it up
        SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.do_GET(self);
    else:
        # send index.html, but don't redirect
        self.send_response(200)
        self.send_header('Content-Type', 'text/html')  
        self.end_headers()
        with open(INDEXFILE, 'r') as fin:
          self.copyfile(fin, self.wfile)

Handler = MyHandler

httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler)

print "serving at port", PORT
httpd.serve_forever()

Just wanted to thank chrisbolin (and faelp22) for this. Gonna really help me with testing.

@samkamin you are very welcome!

Thanks, Do you know how I can fetch data or list of files being served in react?
