CherryPy is a pythonic, object-oriented web development framework.
Line 41: Line 20:
CherryPy is a Python-based tool for developing dynamic web sites. It uses many powerful concepts together, which makes it unique in its approach to web site development. 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.
Line 43: Line 22:
It has been used in production for nearly a year and has proven fast and stable.
Key properties/features of CherryPy are:		 CherryPy is now more than eight 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.
Line 46: Line 24:
    * Based exclusively on Python (runs everywhere Python runs)
    * Sits between a compiler and an application server
    * Delivers fast, robust, and scalable web sites
    * Developers can use OOP as well as AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming) concepts to develop web sites
    * True separation of content and presentation
    * Simple but powerful templating] language
    * "HTML editor safe" templating language (templates can go back and forth between designers and developers)
    * Powerful standard libraries to make your life easy		 CherryPy does its best to stay out of the way between the programmer and the problem. CherryPy applications are usually very simple. It works out of the box; default behavior is sensible enough to allow use without extensive setup or customization. The embedded web server allows one to deploy web applications anywhere Python is installed. In short, CherryPy is as pythonic as it gets.
Line 55: Line 26:
Other properties/features are:

    * Can be linked to many databases (["Oracle"], ["Sybase"], ["MySQL"], ["PostgreSQL"], ...)
    * Can run behind another webserver (Apache, ...)
    * Easy clustering and load-balancing set up for high-traffic web sites
    * Built-in caching capability
    * SSL support (based on PyOpenSSL)
    * XML/XSL support (based on 4Suite)
    * XML-RPC
    * Very good
 Oh, and most importantly: CherryPy is fun to work with :-)
