Hi all,
I started using web.py for programming web services and, although I’m
quite happy with the framework, I couldn’t find an out-of-the-box
solution for what I was looking for. More specifically, I wanted to
select the appropriate representation for the service’s resources in a
RESTful way, i.e. using the HTTP Accept header.
I didn’t like this:

class hello:
def GET(self, name):
if not name: name = ‘world’
message = ‘Hello, %s!’%name
accept_string = web.ctx.env['HTTP_ACCEPT']
mime = find_best_supported_mime(accept_string)
if mime==’application/html’:
return render_html.hello(message)
elif mime==’application/xml’:
return render_xml.hello(message)
elif mime==’application/json’:
return render_json(message)
else:
raise web.internalerror(‘no representation for “%s”‘%mime)

So I made it like this:

@mimerender.represent(
html = render_html.hello,
xml = render_xml.hello,
json = render_json)
def GET(self, name):
if not name: name = ‘world’
message = ‘Hello, %s!’%name
return {‘message’: message}

I’ve made the library open-source and posted it at http://code.google.com/p/mimerender
Hope you find it useful.
Cheers!

I’ve been checking many clients and they are really simple, as can be seen in the -yahoo link provide above,

I liked particularilly these ones:

1. http://microapps.sourceforge.net/restclient/
2. http://code.google.com/p/python-rest-client
3. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/z3c.rest/0.2.5

They all provide more or less the same, mainly 1 and 2, but 1 seemed a little more mature, although they all were ok.

I hope it helps.

This is quite a useful guide in doing restful python service.
Thanks for sharing.

Keith,

Pylons is really a web framework, not a web-services framework.

It doesn’t generate any WSDL, so we would have to generate our own.

I'm not familiar with Pylons ,can it generate a WSDL for you? Recently we (WSO2) released an alpha version of a Web Services Framework for Jython (WSF/Jython). As of not it does not support REST (its a open source project and we would like people getting involved with it) but its a trivial feature to add. I guess you've already seeing how we could do REST services with Javascript on the WSO2 Mashup Server. We could easily do something similar to this. BTW we would generate both a WSDL 1.1 and WSDL 2.0 for you too.
