Question

Is it any easy way to use CherryPy as an web server that will display .html files in some folder? All CherryPy introductory documentation states that content is dynamically generated:

import cherrypy class HelloWorld(object):     def index(self):         return 'Hello World!'     index.exposed = True cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld()) 

Is it any easy way to use index.html instead of HelloWorld.index() method?

This simple code will serve files on current directory.

import os import cherrypy  PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) class Root(object): pass  cherrypy.tree.mount(Root(), '/', config={         '/': {                 'tools.staticdir.on': True,                 'tools.staticdir.dir': PATH,                 'tools.staticdir.index': 'index.html',             },     })  cherrypy.quickstart()
