cherrypy Getting started with cherrypy Hello world in CherryPy

Example

If you have a virtualenv and CherryPy is already installed in it, create a file hello.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

import cherrypy

class HelloWorld(object):
    @cherrypy.expose
    def index(self):
        return 'Hello World!'

    @cherrypy.expose
    def greet(self, name):
        return 'Hello {}!'.format(name)

cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())

Then execute the file: $ hello.py or $ python hello.py. You should see output similar to this:

user@computer /develop/myapp $ python hello.py
