When starting a bottle webserver without a thread or a subprocess, there\'s no problem. To exit the bottle app -> CTRL + c.

In a thread, ho

Answer 1

This is exactly the same method than sepero's and mike's answer, but now much simpler with Bottle version 0.13+:

from bottle import W, run, route
from threading import Thread
import time

@route('/')
def index():
    return 'Hello world'

def shutdown():
    time.sleep(5)
    server.srv.shutdown()

server = WSGIRefServer(port=80)
Thread(target=shutdown).start()
run(server=server)

Another example with a route http://localhost/stop to do the shutdown:

from bottle import WSGIRefServer, run, route
from threading import Thread

@route('/')
def index():
    return 'Hello world'

@route('/stop')
def stopit():
    Thread(target=shutdown).start()

def shutdown():
    server.srv.shutdown()

server = WSGIRefServer(port=80)
run(server=server)

PS: it requires at least Bottle 0.13dev.
