Deploying CherryPy application using gunicorn

I have a basic application written in CherryPy. It looks something like this:

import cherrypy

class API():
    @cherrypy.expose
    def index(self):
        return "<h3>Its working!<h3>"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    cherrypy.config.update({
        'server.socket_host': '127.0.0.1',
        'server.socket_port': 8082,
    })
    cherrypy.quickstart(API())

      

        
        
        
      

    

I would like to deploy this application with a cannon, possibly with multiple workers. gunicorn starts up when I run this in terminal

gunicorn -b localhost:8082 -w 4 test_app:API 

      

        
        
        
      

    

But every time I try to access the default method it gives an internal server error. However, running this standalone using CherryPy works.

Here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gunicorn/workers/sync.py", line 130, in handle
    self.handle_request(listener, req, client, addr)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gunicorn/workers/sync.py", line 171, in handle_request
    respiter = self.wsgi(environ, resp.start_response)
TypeError: this constructor takes no arguments

      

        
        
        
      

    

I have a fairly large CherryPy application that I would like to deploy using gunicorn. Should CherryPy and gunicorn be mixed?
