How to make a web server respond to a request outside the local network?

I've set up a web server on a Linux machine on port 8000, using:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

If I run curl -XGET '127.0.0.1:8000' I get a response. But if I try accessing it on a browser in a different machine using http://domain:8000, I get no response.

How can I make it work outside the local network?

You should add port redirect from your router (adsl modem, switch, hub) to your computer. Or you can use ngrok (https://ngrok.com/) for such as things.
