Cheetah is only a template language, it doesn't give you any mechanism for receiving and responding to HTTP requests. You still need some web infrastructure. web.py and pylons both work with Cheetah; I think TurboGears will also. Or you could use a bare web server such as CherryPy or Karrigell with Cheetah. You might want to take a look at Pylons, it is perhaps the most "pluggable" of the major frameworks. You also might be interested in SQLAlchemy which provides a higher-level of access to your database than plain DB-API but doesn't hide the SQL from you. > > My other issue is: has anybody run a python web app under lighttpd? and > if so, where can i get the Windows lighttpd build? the link to > kevinworthington.com <http://kevinworthington.com> on the official site > is dead, and ive not had a response from the lighttpd webmaster. Any WSGI-compatible web app will run under lighttpd using flup as a FastCGI connector. web.py, Pylons, TurboGears and Django all give instructions for this in their docs.
