Really?  I tried CherryPy for a few minutes--totally 100% new to
web programming--and though I was pleased at the very basic "Hello,
World!" tutorial, I was unable to figure out how to use the more
advanced tutorials that come with the package.  Could you suggest
how one could learn?  I have experience with Python and GUI app
development, zero on web apps, but want to make widget-having web
apps which uses Python as the logic.

Any tips would be appreciated!

Also, beyond just running a small test web app with the "server"
running on my own computer, what is a basic way to try it out
actually on the web?  Thanks!
