All my current work on CherryPy is for Intranet deployment. I'm using
it to deploy webapps, and I found it quite easy to work with. Very
pythonic IMHO :-)

I was also somewhat concerned about it. I have heard that some sites
are using CP for public web servers (I found CherryPy reading a blog
post where the author commented that the blog engine was based on it);
but I do not have more information to back it.

There is a company specialized in hosting Python applications, and
they do support CherryPy. Take a look at: www.python-hosting.com. I'm
not affiliated with them, but hey, they already host CherryPy
development, so I guess they deserve mention :-)
