Abstract:

CherryPy is a Python based web development toolkit. It provides all the features of an enterprise-class application server while remaining light, fast and easy to learn.

CherryPy allows developers to build web applications in much the same way they would build any other object-oriented Python program. This usually results in smaller source code developed in less time.

It runs on most platforms (everywhere Python runs) and it is available under the GPL license.

CherryPy is now nearly two years old and it is has proven very fast and stable. It is being used in production by many sites, from the simplest ones to the most demanding ones.

Oh, and most importantly: CherryPy is fun to work with :-)
