The CherryPy library is incredibly easy to use if you're comfortable with the Python language and its object-oriented uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CherryPy? The library is missing some functionality, and is definitely not quite as complete as direct web development in, for instance, Javascript. That being said, you'll be able to get a lot of things done quickly, except for the rare occasion when you'll need to implement something that seems intuitive to build in to the library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CherryPy: Don't expect it to be the best web framework library you've ever seen. However, it is completely adequate and definitely gets the job done, especially when dealing with less experienced programmers, as my group often does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CherryPy solving and how is that benefiting you? We're able to get web features up and running much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a minimalistic web framework and can be used to quickly build a small application in no time (or FLASH time if you know what I mean). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CherryPy? I didn;t find it to be scalable enough as Django Framework. I started working on cherry and eventually moved to Django as my application got bigger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CherryPy solving and how is that benefiting you? As I mentioned earlier, I used it to develop a prototype for a Community Social Networking application that I was working on when I was in university. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
