Developers searching for a framework that helps build applications in a functional style
About Giotto
It is based on the concept of Model, View and Controllers. The framework is designed to enforce a clean style that results in code that is maintainable over a long period. Other popular web frameworks are built with a mindset of launching fast. This results in code that will deploy quickly, but falls under it’s own complexity after many iterations. An example of a controller process is Apache, or gunicorn. A manifest is given to the controller process when it is started. All incoming requests to the controller process will be routed to a program contained within the manifest. A manifest is just a collection of programs. A user makes a request to the controller process. This can be a web request, or a command line invocation, or any other action that is handled by a controller process.

CherryPy
CherryPy allows developers to build web applications in much the same way they would build any other object-oriented Python program. This results in smaller source code developed in less time. CherryPy is now more than ten years old, and it has proven to be fast and reliable. It is being used in production by many sites, from the simplest to the most demanding. In order to make the most of CherryPy, you should start with the tutorials that will lead you through the most common aspects of the framework. Once done, you will probably want to browse through the basics and advanced sections that will demonstrate how to implement certain operations. Finally, you will want to carefully read the configuration and extend sections that go in-depth regarding the powerful features provided by the framework.
