CherryPy

A Minimalist Python Web Framework

CherryPy is as easy as…

import cherrypy
class HelloWorld(object):
    def index(self):
        return "Hello World!"
    index.exposed = True

cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())

CherryPy is a pythonic, object-oriented web framework

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

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