== Introduction ==

In this tutorial we'll create a simple Python web application based on [http://cherrpy.org/ CherryPy 3]. !CherryPy was chosen because it provides a convenient level of abstraction over raw CGI or [http://wsgi.org/wsgi WSGI] development, but is less ambitious than full-stack web frameworks such as [http://pylonshq.com/ Pylons] or [http://www.djangoproject.com/ Django], which tend to come with a preferred templating language, and often show significant bias towards that language.
