-Introduction

-
-What is CherryPy?
-=================
-
-CherryPy is a pythonic, object-oriented HTTP 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 does its best to stay out of the way between the programmer and the
-problem. It works out of the box; default behavior is sensible enough to allow
-use without extensive setup or customization. However, its configuration
-and plugin systems are more than enough to easily build and deploy complex
-sites.
-
-You are free to use any kind of templating, data access etc. technology
-you want. CherryPy also has built-in tools for sessions, static files, cookies,
-file uploads, caching, encoding, authorization, compression, and many more.
-
-The production-ready, HTTP/1.1-compliant web server allows you to deploy
-web applications anywhere Python is installed. It also supports any other
-WSGI-enabled webserver or adapter, including Apache, IIS, lighttpd, mod_python,
-FastCGI, SCGI, and mod_wsgi, even multiple ones. And it's *fast*; typically,
-CherryPy itself takes only 1-2ms per request! It is being used in production
-by many sites, from the simplest to the most demanding.
-
-CherryPy applications run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and any other platform
-supporting Python 2.3 or higher.
-
-CherryPy is now more than eight years old and it is has proven very fast and
-stable. It is well tested, and includes tools for testing, profiling, and
-coverage of your own applications.
-
-Oh, and most importantly: CherryPy is fun to work with :-)
-Here's how easy it is to write "Hello World" in CherryPy::
-
- import cherrypy
-
- class HelloWorld(object):
- def index(self):
- return "Hello World!"
- index.exposed = True
-
- cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())
-
-
-What CherryPy is NOT?
-=====================
-
-As an HTTP framework, CherryPy does all that is necessary to allow Python code
-to be executed when some resource (URL) is requested by the user. However:
-
- * CherryPy is not a templating language, such as PHP. CherryPy can work with
- several Python templating packages (see :doc:`/progguide/choosingtemplate`),
- but does not ship one by default.
- * CherryPy does not fill out HTML forms for you. You're free to use formencode
- or any other solution, or none at all if you're not using HTML ;)
- * CherryPy is not a database or ORM. Rather than dictate or bless a persistence
- layer to you, CherryPy allows you to choose your own.
