CherryPy - Interview Questions

To install and set up CherryPy for a new project, you can follow these steps:

Installation :

* Ensure you have Python installed : CherryPy requires Python. You can download and install Python from the official website if you haven't already.

* Install CherryPy via pip : Open your terminal or command prompt and use the following command:

pip install cherrypyâ€‹

Setting up a CherryPy Project : Once CherryPy is installed, you can set up a new project by creating a basic CherryPy application:

* Create a new directory for your project :

mkdir my_cherrypy_project
cd my_cherrypy_projectâ€‹

* Create a Python file for your CherryPy application, e.g., 'app.py' :

import cherrypy

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

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

* Run the CherryPy application : Run your app.py file using Python:

python app.pyâ€‹

You should see CherryPy starting up and listening on a default port (usually 8080). Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to see the "Hello, world!" message.

Additional Configuration : CherryPy offers various configurations and options for routing, server configuration, tools, etc. You can modify your app.py file to include more advanced configurations as needed. For example:

* Configuring a different port or server settings.
* Adding more routes and handling different URLs.
* Implementing CherryPy tools for sessions, authentication, etc.
