------------------------------------------
About CherryPy:

CherryPy is a Python-based tool for developing dynamic websites. It
uses many powerful concepts together, which makes it unique in its
approach to website development.
CherryPy sits between an application server and a compiler. You write
source files, compile them with CherryPy and CherryPy generates an
executable containing everything to run the website (including an HTTP
server).

CherryPy has been used in production for more than 6 months are we are
now releasing it to the public, under the GPL license.
Key properties/features of CherryPy are: 
   - Based exclusively on Python (runs everywhere Python runs) 
   - Delivers fast, robust, and scalable websites 
   - Uses OOP as well as AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming) concepts to
develop websites
   - True separation of content and presentation 
   - Simple but powerful templating language 
   - Powerful standard libraries to make your life easy

Other properties/features are: 
   - Can be linked to many databases (Oracle, Sybase, MySql,
PostgreSql, ...)
   - Can run behind another webserver (Apache, ...) 
   - Easy clustering and load-balancing set up for high-traffic
websites
