Page not loading at localhost:8080

Question

I'm trying to learn SimpleCV, and in it's tutorials it says to display an image in the browser, use

img.show(type="browser")

Whenever I do this, my browser leads me to localhost:8080, and the page will not load. How can I start a simple server in Python so that the page will load?

Answer 1

Try calling import webbrowser from the shell. If it fails you need to install the library (pip install or easy_install).
