+# lazy_serve
+
+A simple, easy-to-use Python package for starting HTTP servers with minimal setup. Ideal for serving static files in development environments or for lightweight file sharing.
+
+## Installation
+
+To install lazy_serve, simply use pip:
+
+```sh
+pip install lazy_serve
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Using lazy_serve is straightforward. Here's a basic example:
+
+```python
+import lazy_serve as lz
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    servers = [(8080, "~/server1/out/"), (8081, "~/server2/out/")]
+    lz.serve(servers)
+```
+
+This code will start HTTP servers on ports 8080 and 8081, serving files from `~/server1/out/` and `~/server2/out/` respectively.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Easy to Use:** Start a server in just a few lines of code.
+- **Flexible:** Serve any directory by simply specifying its path.
+- **Concurrent Servers:** Run multiple servers at once, each on its own port.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.6 or higher
