Any good cherrypy tutorials or videos?

Question

I am looking for a good in-depth tutorial to get me going on CherryPy and haven't been able to find one on Google. The CherryPy website has a tutorial, but it is rather simple and doesn't discuss more than the basic aspects of CherryPy.

I am not interested in the book at this time, as I need to get some progress in the next few days and don't have time to read the book.

Answer 1

I'm not sure that anything more complicated than a simple tutorial is necessary. I've been doing professional CherryPy development for years, and although I occasionally need to look something up from the docs, I never really needed to learn very much to get started making websites.

So my advice is to just get started programming and consult the docs when you find yourself saying "How do I handle sessions" or "How do I set response headers", etc. This is how I learned, and I've never had any complaints.

However, this advice only applies if you're already familiar with Python. If not, then it's Python and not CherryPy with which you'll need to become acquainted.

Answer 2

Here's a screencast showing a CherryPy application being built from the interactive interpreter. It's pretty cool.

Answer 3

This book seems to be pretty good: http://www.packtpub.com/CherryPy/book
