Welcome to the GitHub repository ofCherryPy!

CherryPy is a pythonic, object-oriented HTTP framework.

1. It allows building web applications in much the same way one wouldbuild any other object-oriented program.
2. This design results in more concise and readable code developed faster.It's all just properties and methods.
3. It is now more than ten years old and has proven fast and verystable.
4. It is being used in production by many sites, from the simplest tothe most demanding.
5. And perhaps most importantly, it is fun to work with :-)

Here's how easy it is to write "Hello World" in CherryPy:

importcherrypyclassHelloWorld(object):@cherrypy.exposedefindex(self):return"Hello World!"cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())

And it continues to work that intuitively when systems grow, allowingfor the Python object model to be dynamically presented as a websiteand/or API.

While CherryPy is one of the easiest and most intuitive frameworks outthere, the prerequisite for understanding theCherryPydocumentation is that you havea general understanding of Python and web development.Additionally:

• Tutorials are included in the repository:https://github.com/cherrypy/cherrypy/tree/master/cherrypy/tutorial
• A general wiki at:https://github.com/cherrypy/cherrypy/wiki

If the docs are insufficient to address your needs, the CherryPycommunity has severalavenues for support.

CherryPy is available as part of the Tidelift Subscription.

The CherryPy maintainers and the maintainers of thousands of other packagesare working with Tidelift to deliver one enterprise subscription that coversall of the open source you use.
