A Piece of CherryPy for CGI Programmers 193

Posted by ScuttleMonkey from the making-web-programming-easier-to-stomach dept.
An anonymous reader writes "IBM developerWorks is running an article outlining the strengths and offering some helpful advice on the Python framework 'CherryPy'. CherryPy uses the same concepts as CGI to bind a web server to a web application, but it improves performance and gains persistence across requests by handling all its requests within a single process."

      CherryPy is nothing like ASP, ASP.NET. The script you write is EVERYTHING. You don't need a web server like you do in ASP/ASP.NET. It is the web server with your code in it. I have been using CherryPy for a while. What is nice about it is that for simple things, it justs steps out of the way. There is very little framework code in my apps and they just feel like console programs.
      • I like CherryPy because it is very lightweight and doesn't rely on an external webserver. It's especially well suited to tasks such as web-based system managers. Afterall, it really sucks to enter changes into your web-based web server configuration manager only to find out that your changes broke the web server so you can no longer configure said web server. I converted my existing mod_python scripts to CherryPy and have so far had very good luck with it.

  • In the first few posts, I've seen a lot of relatively lacking-in-clue replies asking how CherryPy is different from ASP.NET, mod_python, FastCGI, etc. With most Apache-based web platforms, one process will handle many requests, but you cannot guarantee that every request will be handled by the same process: by default, apache starts multiple (possibly multi-threaded) servers, and creates and destroys them as necessary.

    CherryPy, on the other hand, runs every request from the same process by using a thread pool instead of a process pool. This means that any global variables you change will be visible to any request. In many cases (keeping in mind memory restraints), you can share items in memory that would otherwise have to go through the database, which can help performance and make keeping track of state easier. Of course, multithreaded data sharing places its own demand on the programmer: the Python core is inherently thread-safe, but no programming language can protect you from race conditions and the like.

    I've played around a little bit with CherryPy, and writing in it definitely feels Pythonic. It may still need some more development before it is fully mature, but it's something to at least keep an eye on.

    (On a side note: I don't know how the IIS/ASP.NET process model works. It does let you store data across an application, but you are limited to a single Application hashtable, probably to be orthogonal to the Session and Viewstate objects and to reduce the likelihood that a programmer not experienced with concurrency would shoot him/herself in the foot.)

    I think people are looking at this the wrong way. I see a lot of posts saying "who cares? ASP is already like that!" or "You're supposed to have it in a single process anyway!"

    What makes this cooler is that Python functions are exposed in the URL. Read through that IBM tutorial. It's fairly interesting. Put a function called hello() in your CherryPy application, and the return value of that function is displayed in your web browser when you visit http://address/hello [address]

    I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty cool. You could definitely do some interesting stuff with this, and I can see it saving a lot of time in the code-writing phase. And once you get your head wrapped around that concept pretty well, the design phase would probably get a lot shorter too. (Not to mention how much easier it would then become to add new features to the application.)

    This is interesting for two reasons: Python frameworks are now catching up to things like ASP and PHP, but are doing some crucial things differently that might make it much easier/more powerful. I might start using this instead of PHP for small web apps that just need to talk to a database, and see how it goes from there.

      What I've encounted with Python is the overwhelming lack of crypto, not necessarily a lack of "security" (I use that term loosely here). What stems from the lack of good default crypto is a sense of a lack of security. For example, the Python SSL implementation has no certificate verification, which is a huge problem for anybody who wants to do any client work. There is also a complete lack of support in most libs for servers (https server? secure xmlrpc server?). This means that you can only half-ass the client side, and the server side is non-existant. While I havn't looked at the framework, I'm hoping that they implemented extra features into the system that makes it a bit better of a choice for security reasons. Right now I'm having a hell of a time trying to get some basic solid crypto security going over xmlrpc.

    The big thing in python web programming right now is the introduction of Django [djangoproject.com], a mature RAD framework that shares lots of features with Rails. It's got a lot going for it; it'll be interesting to see how things turn out.

    I find CherryPy's URL traversal scheme a bit clunky -- since you connect up objects to each other via attributes, you can't see the hierarchy of your site. At least with PHP you can use "ls" to discover what your URL space looks like. Django uses a really neat scheme that binds a table of named regular expressions to callable handlers, e.g.

    (r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/$', 'myproject.apps.polls.views.polls.detail')

    and the handler is declared as

    def detail(request, poll_id)
    ...

    ...so that requesting /polls/13/ maps to calling detail(request, 13). Here's more about it... [djangoproject.com]

    • If we're talking about URL management, an interesting Python project is a port of Rails' Routes [groovie.org]. This is notable in particular because it is reversable -- you can both unpack a URL to a controller and set of arguments, and pack a controller and set of arguments back into a URL.

      It's a very new project, so I don't think it's been used in any Python framework yet. But it would probably be applicable to quite a few of them (perhaps including CherryPy).

  • .. I need to read more.. but this sounds like apache and tomcat interoperation.. tomcat being one process to handle the jsp requests...

    Why not just embed the python interpreter in an apache module ....

  • ...how about a piece of ApplePy?
  • Man this is bad but when I read the header to this article, the first thing that came to mind was Warrant ...

  • I run a project that aims to be a java port of CherryPy. Supports all free vms and is very lightweight.

    If you're like me and downloaded the latest cherrypy to follow along with the article, there's a quick fix that will make version 2.1 work with it. Just change any lines that say:

    from cherrypy import cpg

    to:

    import cherrypy as cpg

    More info here [cherrypy.org].
