SECURITY
       Due to the security concerns it is highly recommended to run ppserver.py with an non-trivial secret key (-s command  line  argument)  which
       should  be  paired  with the matching secret keyword of PP Server class constructor. An alternative way to set a secret key is by assigning
       pp_secret variable in the configuration file .pythonrc.py which should be located in the user home directory (please make this  file  read-
       able  and  writable  only  by user).  The secret key set in .pythonrc.py could be overridden by command line argument (for ppserver.py) and
       secret keyword (for PP Server class constructor).
