cherrypy

Context: Imagine that you have a standard CherryPy hello word app: def index(self): return "Hello world!" index.exposed = True and you would like to do some post-processing, i.e. record request processing or just log the fact that we were called from specific IP. What you would do is probably: def index(self): self.RunMyPostProcessing() return "Hello world!" index.exposed = True However, that will add to your request processing time. (btw. And probably you will use decorators, or even some more sophisticated method if you would like to call it on every function). Question: Is there a way of

I have a cherrypy application and on some of the views I want to start only allowing certain users to view them, and sending anyone else to an authorization required page. Is there a way I can do this with a custom decorator? I think that would be the most elegant option. Here's a basic example of what I want to do: class MyApp: @authorization_required def view_page1(self,appID): ... do some stuff ... return html def authorization_required(func): #what do I put here? Also can the authorization_required function when called as a decorator accept parameters like allow_group1, allow_group2? Or do

Per suggestions on SO/SF and other sites, I am using CherryPy as the WSGI server to launch multiple instances of a Python web server I built with Flask. Each instance runs on its own port and sits behind Nginx. I should note that the below does work for me, but I'm troubled that I have gone about things the wrong way and it works "by accident". Here is my current cherrypy.conf file: [global] server.socket_host = '0.0.0.0' server.socket_port = 8891 request.dispatch: cherrypy.dispatch.MethodDispatcher() tree.mount = {'/':my_flask_server.app} Without diving too far into my Flask server, here's

I know there are plenty of questions about Flask and CherryPy and static files but I still can't seem to get this working. There's a snippet to deploy a Flask app on CherryPy here: http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/24/ Is there a quick modification to have the wsgiserver serve the content in the static directory of the flask app? The static content features of CherryPy seem to reside within CherryPy. And I am unsure on how to mount a CherryPy app that does nothing but serve static content while working with this snippet. Here is a snippet that should do what you are asking for. This is based on

I have a CherryPy script that I frequently run to start a server. Today I was having to start and stop it a few times to fix some bugs in a config file, and I guess the socket didn't close all the way because when I tried to start it up again I got this issue: [23/Mar/2015:14:08:00] ENGINE Listening for SIGHUP. [23/Mar/2015:14:08:00] ENGINE Listening for SIGTERM. [23/Mar/2015:14:08:00] ENGINE Listening for SIGUSR1.

I recently had to rewrite our rest api, and made the switch from Flask to Cherrypy (mostly due to Python 3 compatibility). But now I'm stuck trying to write my unit tests, Flask has a really nifty built-in test client, that you can use to sent fake requests to your application (without starting a server.) I can't find any similar functionality for Cherrypy, is there such functionality, or am I stuck starting a server and doing actual requests against it? As far as I know, CherryPy doesn't indeed provide a facility for this type of testing (no running server). But it's fairly easy to do it
