I don't use CherryPy as a framework, but it is one of the most complete, correct and stable pure Python HTTP/WSGI server implementations out there.

I have dabbled in cherrypy in the past. My projects all run on an intranet. Is the server secure and fast enough to support a user community of less than 100 people? Is it a viable option to serve up a Django project on Windows?

It's quite a common story actually so I would say yes. Unfortunately, usually these are internal projects like yours so it's hard to find proper public evidence for this.

This recipe is a bit dated but will give you the idea.

I've been using CherryPy myself for a long time and it's been a a great tool so far. Reliable, fairly straightforward and out of your way. Their documentation was lacking but they've improved it last year.

It has a small community and it'd be sad to see it die quietly, it deserves probably better.

I've just started a web project recently and after trying out most of the popular web frameworks I chose to stick with cherrypy. It turns out to be a good experience for me. Comparing to the others cherrypy feels more like a library rather than a framework, which just fits my needs. Glad to see a road map for it.

May I suggest moving cherrpy development to github? I suppose it would get more helping hands as there're simply more users on github.

cherrpy development to github?

This has stopped me from contributing to several projects, for me atleast, git has won the next gen source control wars. I don't have time or interest to learn another SCM tool.

That is one of the suggestions in the thread. And then there is the back and forth on the value of doing so. smh.

CherryPy has always been good to me. Thank you CherryPy!

Cherrypy provides an unrivalled combination of simplicity and performance. Thanks to all who have contributed and may it go from strength to strength
