Introduction

In this tutorial we'll create a simple Python web application written in ​CherryPy 3. CherryPy was chosen because it does provides a nice level of abstraction over raw CGI or ​WSGI development, but is less ambitious than full-stack web frameworks such as ​Pylons or ​Django, which tend to come with a preferred templating language, and often show significant bias towards that language.
