I’ve tinkered with CherryPy a bit in the past, from 0.7 on up. With the recent announcement of TurboGears, I’ve had reason to give CP some fresh attention. This is an easy to use web framework which, even by itself (meaning without TurboGears), allows you to put together a web site in little time. This project has done well standing on its own and has gained momentum and appears to be gaining market share in the Python web frameworks arena.

New features for CherryPy are listed here. One of the new features is a “session authenticate filter”. Somewhere between 0.7 and 2.(something), the builtin support for a single session authentication mechanism was stripped out (although there were various recipes for authentication on the CP wiki). I really hope that has found its way back in for good.

How do you think CherryPy compares to other Python Web Frameworks?
