After following +this tutorial, you will be able to understand how CherryPy +applications work, and also to implement simple but yet powerful applications +on your own. Some knowledge of the Python programming language is assumed. +One does not need to be an expert to work with CherryPy, but a good +understanding of object-oriented basics is strongly recommended. + +This tutorial only covers the basic features of CherryPy, but it tries to +present them in a way that makes it easier for you to discover how to +use them. The CherryPy distribution comes with several good tutorial applications; +however, the best way to master CherryPy is to use it to write your own +Web applications. The embedded web server makes it easy for anyone not only +to try, but also to deploy local applications, or even small Internet-enabled +web sites. Try it, and let us know what you did with it! + +Knowledge required +------------------ + +It is assumed that the user has: + + * Some knowledge of the Python programming language + * Some experience with basic object oriented programming + * Some knowledge of HTML, which is necessary to build the Web pages + +Learning Python +--------------- + +As stated above, this is not a guide to the Python language.
