For the&nbsp;<code>MyApplication</code> <a    21  href="resources.html">example</a>, together with a simple environment,    22 looks something like    23 this:</p>    24 <pre>from WebStack.Adapters.BaseHTTPRequestHandler import deploy    # import the support for the server environment<br />from MyApplication import MyResource                           # import the main resource class<br />print "Serving..."<br />deploy(MyResource())                                           # connect a resource object to the server environment</pre>    25 <p>In the case of BaseHTTPRequestHandler, which is a module in the    26 Python standard library, you can just run this code, making sure that    27 the <code>MyApplication</code> module or package is on your <code>PYTHONPATH</code>.    28 Then, you can visit&nbsp;<code>http://localhost:8080</code> in your    29 browser and see the result.</p>    30 <h3>More Demanding Adapter Code</h3>    31 <p>Unfortunately, not all server environments can be connected up with    32 applications this easily. Some environments require special classes and    33 functions to be defined in the adapter code in order for    34 applications to    35 be properly integrated into those environments. A summary of the    36 requirements of each environment can be found in <a    37  href="writing-adapters.html">"Writing Adapters"</a>.</p>    38 <h2>The Deployment Process</h2>    39 <ul>    40   <li><a href="writing-adapters.html">Writing Adapters</a></li>    41   <li><a href="pythonpath.html">Getting PYTHONPATH Right</a></li>    42   <li><a href="deploying-applications.html">Deploying an Application</a></li>    43 </ul>    44 </body>    45 </html>
