cherrypy is a part of the Tidelift Subscription

CherryPy allows developers to build web applications in much the same way they would build any other object-oriented Python program. This results in smaller source code developed in less time. CherryPy is now more than ten years old and it is has proven to be very fast and stable. It is being used in production by many sites, from the simplest to the most demanding.

Cherrypy is available via the PyPI package manager.

Hear from a maintainer

"Tidelift breaks the expectation that open-source development is only a labor of love, rewarding the creators commensurate to the value of their work. The Tidelift model addresses many of the pitfalls of open source by compensating projects for their efforts."

Jason Coombs, cherrypy maintainer
