[Tutor] My experience on web.py / CherryPy

[Patrick]

I am in the same situation as you. I was looking at Django and 
Turbogears. I have finally settled on CherryPy, which is also built into 
Turbogears.

Watching this Google talk on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-WXiqrzAf8

it seemed to me that Django is well suited for a developer team but is a 
bit sketchy when you try to scale it down to a single developer.

CherryPy seems to work well as a substitute for all-in-one-page CGI 
scripts without the respawning issues or as a proper MVC web application 
server.

I set up an account at Webfaction. They specialize in Python hosting and 
you can set up Turbogears, Django, CherryPy etc with a click of a button.

I would love to keep this thread going, please feedback as you move 
along, I feedback too
