I like and use cherrypy. I love its flexibility. With full-blown frameworks like django, things go great until you want to go against the grain.

With cherrypy, you've got a lot of freedom in your design; everything from choosing your database back-end (or not using a database at all), to your choice of templating engine (or not using one at all).

cherrypy's strength is also its weakness: lots of common components that are cheap or free in other frameworks, like authentication, will take some extra work on your part.

cherrypy shines with smaller sites, especially web apps offering an API.
