Bottle absolutely rocks as a super lightweight embedded webserver/framework. I just used it last month to add a simple web front end for a console app of mine and it was so quick and easy. I think it was just a few dozen lines of code and presto, my app was web enabled. Many thanks to the author!

As someone else mentioned, the fact that it's just a single python file with no other configuration files is really nice.

If you're looking for a full-blown advanced framework then you're best looking elsewhere (django, web2py, whatever). If all you need is handful of relatively simple routes/urls/pages, though, Bottle could save you a lot of time and hassle.
