How to use CherryPy

CherryPy is a Python-based web application framework that helps you create fast, stable, and scalable web applications. Here are the steps to use CherryPy in your project:

1. Install CherryPy: You can install CherryPy by using the pip package manager. Open your terminal and type

   pip install cherrypy
   to install CherryPy.

2. Import CherryPy: Once you've installed CherryPy, you can import it into your Python file using the following code:

import cherrypy

1. Define a class: In CherryPy, you define your web application as a class. For example, you can define a simple "Hello World" web application as follows:

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

In this example, we defined a class called

, which has a method called . The decorator tells CherryPy that this method should be accessible via HTTP.

1. Start the server: To start the CherryPy server, you need to call the
   cherrypy.quickstart()
   function and pass in your class as an argument:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())

This code starts a local web server on your machine and serves your

application. To run your application, simply execute your Python file from the command line:

$ python myapp.py

1. Access your application: Open your web browser and navigate to
   http://localhost:8080/
   . You should see the "Hello, World!" message displayed in your browser.

These are the basic steps to get started with CherryPy. CherryPy offers many more features, such as URL routing, template rendering, and much more, which you can explore in its documentation.
