How can I make a PyCharm server running locally available to iPhone on same network

I am developing a backend server for an app using PyCharm. This runs on my laptop as 127.0.0.1:8000

I need to access this server for testing from an iPhone. This is connected by wifi to my local network to which the laptop is also connected.

I have tried entering http://mycomputer.local:8000 in safari on the iPhone but I get the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped working. I am using the real name of my computer instead of 'mycomputer'.

I am running OS X Yosemite so Web Sharing is not available in System Preferences.

How can I give access to the 127.0.0.1:8000 server to my iPhone?

When you say "backend server", what is the Python project written in? Django, Flask, Pyramid, something else?
