	`1`	`+# Adding REST API to Python App`
	`2`	`+`
	`3`	`+Just some example code using timeouts in BaseHTTPServer to add a REST API to a`
	`4`	`+Python app.`
	`5`	`+`
	`6`	`+Currently, the app will exit once a POST request is sent to the web server on`
	`7`	`+port 1024. There is no additional processing being done, but whatever it is,`
	`8`	`+should be done fairly quickly to allow the app to check for any pending HTTP`
	`9`	`+requests.`
	`10`	`+`
	`11`	`+No authentication enabled, no SSL. Not Production ready!`
	`12`	`+`
	`13`	`+Python 2.x, should be easily convertable to Python 3`
