Because an example is worth all the words:

from cherrypy import wsgiserver

def my_crazy_app(environ, start_response):
    status = '200 OK'
    response_headers = [('Content-type','text/plain')]
    start_response(status, response_headers)
    return ['Hello world!\n']

# This won't call CherryPy machinery at all
# Only the WSGI server which is independant from CherryPy itself
# Its name simply reflects its origin...

server = wsgiserver.CherryPyWSGIServer(('localhost', 8070), [('/',
my_crazy_app)], numthreads=10, server_name='localhost')

# Want SSl support? Just set those attributes
# server.ssl_certificate = ...
# server.ssl_private_key = ...

if __name__ == '__main__':
    server.start()

The nice thing is that you can also support many WSGI applications in
one instance of your server. Anyway only for those who'd be interested ;)
