Looking for a simple webserver

For a little project I'm developing. I want to be able to serve the contents of a particular directory and browse from the local network without the hassle of setting up apache. Something like:$ serve --port 8080 code/project/www

cd /directory/of/files/to/serve python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Perfect, I have python3 installed as default so the command is:
python -m http.server
