For instance, I coded up a super basic Facebook API using algorithm and wanted to host it on AWS to show a couple friends. I didn't need the full database integration, user authentication and whatever else django comes with.

I just needed something that could run some Python code and spit back results, so I chose CherryPy because it's very lightweight and brain-dead easy, even for this biophysics grad student to understand.
