CherryPy

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 ten 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. CherryPy is among the oldest web framework available for Python, yet many people aren’t aware of its existence.

One of the reason for this is that CherryPy is not a complete stack with built-in support for a multi-tier architecture. It doesn’t provide frontend utilities nor will it tells how to speak with the storage. Instead, CherryPy’s take is to let the developer make those decisions. This is a contrasting position compared to other well-known frameworks.

CherryPy has a clean interface and does its best to stay out of your way whilst providing a reliable scaffolding for the developer to build from.Typical use-cases for CherryPy go from regular web application with user frontends (think blogging, CMS, portals, ecommerce) to web-services only.
