Recommendations of Python REST (web services) framework?

Very important

To access the important data of the forums, you must be active in each forum and especially in the leaks and database leaks section, send data and after sending the data and activity, data and important content will be opened and visible for you.
You will only see chat messages from people who are at or below your level.
More than 500,000 database leaks and millions of account leaks are waiting for you, so access and view with more activity.
Many important data are inactive and inaccessible for you, so open them with activity. (This will be done automatically)

I don't see any reason to use Django just to expose a REST api, there are lighter and more flexible solutions. Django carries a lot of other things to the table, that are not always needed. For sure not needed if you only want to expose some code as a REST service.

My personal experience, fwiw, is that once you have a one-size-fits-all framework, you'll start to use its ORM, its plugins, etc. just because it's easy, and in no time you end up having a dependency that is very hard to get rid of.

Choosing a web framework is a tough decision, and I would avoid picking a full stack solution just to expose a REST api.

Now, if you really need/want to use Django, then Piston is a nice REST framework for django apps.

That being said, CherryPy looks really nice too, but seems more RPC than REST.

Looking at the samples (I never used it), probably web.py is the best and cleanest if you only need REST.

We are working on a framework for strict REST services, check out

Its in early Alpha at the moment, we are testing against mod_wsgi and Google's AppEngine.

Looking for testers and feedback. Thanks.

[web2py](

) includes support for easily building RESTful API's, described [here](

[To see links please register here]

) and [here]() (video). In particular, look at [`parse_as_rest`](

), which lets you define URL patterns that map request args to database queries; and [`smart_query`](

), which enables you to pass arbitrary natural language queries in the URL.

I you are using Django then you can consider [django-tastypie][1] as an alternative to [django-piston][2]. It is easier to tune to non-ORM data sources than piston, and has great [documentation][3].

Surprised no one mentioned [flask][1].

[1]:

[To see links please register here]

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello():
return "Hello World!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()

Something to be careful about when designing a RESTful API is the conflation of GET and POST, as if they were the same thing. It's easy to make this mistake with [Django][1]'s [function-based views][2] and [CherryPy][3]'s default dispatcher, although both frameworks now provide a way around this problem ([class-based views][4] and [MethodDispatcher][5], respectively).

[HTTP-verbs are very important][6] in REST, and unless you're very careful about this, you'll end up falling into a [REST anti-pattern][7].

Some frameworks that get it right are [web.py][8], [Flask][9] and [Bottle][10]. When combined with the [mimerender][11] library (full disclosure: I wrote it), they allow you to write nice RESTful webservices:

import web
import json
from mimerender import mimerender

render_xml = lambda message: '<message>%s</message>'%message
render_json = lambda **args: json.dumps(args)
render_html = lambda message: '<html><body>%s</body></html>'%message
render_txt = lambda message: message

urls = (
'/(.*)', 'greet'
)
app = web.application(urls, globals())

class greet:
@mimerender(
default = 'html',
html = render_html,
xml = render_xml,
json = render_json,
txt = render_txt
)
def GET(self, name):
if not name:
name = 'world'
return {'message': 'Hello, ' + name + '!'}

if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()

The service's logic is implemented only once, and the correct representation selection (Accept header) + dispatch to the proper render function (or template) is done in a tidy, transparent way.

$ curl localhost:8080/x
<html><body>Hello, x!</body></html>

$ curl -H "Accept: application/html" localhost:8080/x
<html><body>Hello, x!</body></html>

$ curl -H "Accept: application/xml" localhost:8080/x
<message>Hello, x!</message>

$ curl -H "Accept: application/json" localhost:8080/x
{'message':'Hello, x!'}

$ curl -H "Accept: text/plain" localhost:8080/x
Hello, x!

**Update (April 2012)**: added information about Django's class-based views, CherryPy's MethodDispatcher and Flask and Bottle frameworks. Neither existed back when the question was asked.

Seems all kinds of python web frameworks can implement RESTful interfaces now.

For Django, besides tastypie and piston, django-rest-framework is a promising one worth to mention. I've already migrated one of my project on it smoothly.

> Django REST framework is a lightweight REST framework for Django, that
> aims to make it easy to build well-connected, self-describing RESTful
> Web APIs.

Quick example:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url
from djangorestframework.resources import ModelResource
from djangorestframework.views import ListOrCreateModelView, InstanceModelView
from myapp.models import MyModel

class MyResource(ModelResource):
model = MyModel

urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', ListOrCreateModelView.as_view(resource=MyResource)),
url(r'^(?P<pk>[^/]+)/$', InstanceModelView.as_view(resource=MyResource)),
)

Take the example from official site, all above codes provide api, self explained document(like soap based webservice) and even sandbox to test a bit. Very convenience.
