Consider letting your webserver, not Bottle, set the headers.

Not sure whether this applies in your situation, but I've solved the problem in past projects by setting CORS headers for my Bottle application in Apache. It's easy to configure, keeps my Python code nice and clean, and is efficient.

Information is available from many sources, but if you're using Apache, here's what my config looks like (more or less):

    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
    Header set Access-Control-Request-Headers "Origin, Content-Type"
