        =============
        
        `parrot <https://www.youtu.be/npjOSLCR2hE>`__ is a simple HTTP server
        that responds to any valid GET request with the file specified on the
        command line.
        
        It is useful during testing (e.g. to mock out a server application), or
        to do client testing. Both text and binary files are handlded correctly.
        
        Its only dependency is the excellent
        `python-magic <https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic>`__ library for
        mime type guessing. It works on Python 3.
        
        ::
        
            $ pip install python-parrot
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        ::
        
            $ parrot port filename
        
        The following arguments are required:
        
        -  ``port``: Port to listen on
        -  ``filename``: Filename of the data to send in response to all
           requests
        
        Sample
        ------
        
        Start the parrot server:
        
        ::
        
            $ echo 'This is a test' > test.txt
            $ parrot 8000 test.txt
            parrot/1.0.0 listening on 0.0.0.0:8000 with file test.txt (text/plain)
        
        In another terminal (assuming ``10.1.1.1`` is a valid IP on the server):
        
        ::
        
            $ echo 'GET /anything HTTP/1.0' | nc 10.1.1.1 8000
            HTTP/1.0 200 OK
            Server: parrot/1.0.0 Python/3.4.2
