how can stop process can use port 8000 again?

the process suspended in background, you'll have kill release port.

if you're in same terminal, running fg bring front , reactivate it, letting interrupt ctrl+c.

if you're not, can use number got printed (the process id, or pid) kill it, you'll first have reactivate it, can react:

kill -cont 35296 kill 35296
