I was trying to deploy my Flask app on CherryPy server. I liked its simplistic and minimalistic nature.
So I PIP'ed CherryPy like below
pip install CherryPy-15.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
and wrote script like below -very common suggested by many sources
from cherrypy import wsgiserver
from hello import app
d = wsgiserver.WSGIPathInfoDispatcher({'/': app})
server = wsgiserver.CherryPyWSGIServer(('0.0.0.0', 80), d)
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
server.start()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
server.stop()
To my surprise, I had imports errors. After a few googling around, I learned that I had to change my import lines to cheroot to make it work.
from cheroot.wsgi import Server
from cheroot.wsgi import PathInfoDispatcher
Now, my code is working fine.
However, I am a bit confused if this is the right way of using CherryPy WSGI server or if I pip'ed a wrong version of CherryPy. I am confused because Cheroot seems to be more than year old (dates all the way back to 2014), yet all the information I found around Flask on CherryPy WSGI server is using from cherrypy import wsgiserver, not from cheroot.wsgi import Server, even the latest postings.
This makes me unsure if I am doing the right thing or not.
Can someone please shed light on this confusion?
