What is python-cherrypy3

python-cherrypy3 is:

CherryPy is a pythonic, object-oriented web development framework. It provides the foundation over which complex web-based applications can be written, with little or no knowledge of the underlying protocols. CherryPy allows developers to build web applications in much the same way they would build any other object-oriented Python program. This usually results in smaller source code developed in less time.

CherryPy is up-to-date with the latest developments on using Python for web development: it features a bundled WSGI server, and is able to integrate with other dispatching mechanisms, such as Routes. CherryPy can be run as a standalone application, since it provides its own HTTP server; setting it up behind another HTTP server, such as Apache, or even with mod_python are also options.

This version is backwards incompatible with the 2.2 version in some ways. See http://www.cherrypy.org/wiki/UpgradeTo30.
