(2006-01-21) Bicking Cherrypy Rant

Ian Bicking has a CherryPy rant. No one knows how to do this stuff in CherryPy. No one seems to have any authoritative answer on how you deploy these apps - how you move between servers, how you change the application root, how you put apps together into a single server. Everything is ad hoc stuff that just barely works for one app on one server. It's all "recipes". Recipes are often just stuff that no one cares enough about to do right. This is too central to what CherryPy is supposed to be doing to be a recipe. (Ian wrote Python Paste.)
