restless

A lightweight REST mini framework for Python. Works great with Django, Flask, Pyramid & Tornado, but should be useful for many other Python web frameworks. Based on the lessons learned from Tastypie & other REST libraries. Restless tries to be RESTful by default, but flexible enough. The main Resource class has data methods (that you implement) for all the main RESTful actions. It also uses HTTP status codes as correctly as possible. Restless is BYOD (bring your own data) and hence, works with almost any ORM/data source. If you can import a module to work with the data & can represent it as JSON, Restless can work with it. Restless is small & easy to keep in your head. Common usages involve overriding just a few easily remembered method names. Total source code is an under a thousand lines of code.
