[New-bugs-announce] [issue36345] Deprecate Tools/scripts/serve.py in favour of python -m http.server -d

[Stéphane Wirtel]

New submission from Stéphane Wirtel <stephane at wirtel.be>:

The Makefile of Doc/ has a `serve` target. Currently, this one uses `Tools/scripts/serve.py`. But since 3.7, this script could be replaced by `python -m http.server -d directory`.

@mdk and myself thinking we could deprecate `Tools/scripts/serve.py` with a warning and propose to use `-m http.server -d directory`
