Writing an HTTP server in Python isn't that difficult, but writing and maintaining a robust and fully fledged web server that can act as an application server is quite something else. As we explained in Chapter 1, Choosing Your Tools, we will use CherryPy as our application server. At the time of writing, CherryPy's latest stable version for Python 3 is version 3.2.0 and can be downloaded from http://download.cherrypy.org/cherrypy/3.2.0/.
Note
Windows users should use the zip archive and unpack it before proceeding to the instructions in the next section. There is also a msi installer available at the indicated location, but this installer might not be able to find the correct Python installation in the Windows registry and will only work on 32-bit versions of Windows. Unpacking the zip archive and following the setup instructions next is therefore a safer bet and also identical on both Windows and Unix-like platforms.
