CherryPy also supports that out of the box:

class Book:
def default(self, categoryName, bookId):
...
cpg.root.book = Book()

If you go to "http://domain/book/science/9", CherryPy will call
book.default('science', '9')

Well, you can easily run CherryPy behind Apache (see
http://trac.cherrypy.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/BehindApache).
Since CherryPy provides a WSGI interface (although it's still
experimental), you can also run your CherryPy app with any
WSGI-compatible HTTP server (although I don't really see any advantage
to doing this).
