Does anyone know if there exists a Python REST (web services) framework? I've googled and come up short. I don't think it should be that hard to do if one doesn't exist (famous last words). I guess one could subclass BaseHTTPServer and have specified things to do depending on the path and the method?

I'm interested. But I have been looking at the discussion on the rest
mailing list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rest-discuss/ and it
seems they haven't found a solution for the user:password thing yet.
Using SSL is a must, but then what? Create some unguessable URI?
That is not safe enough for banking applications etc. And using
lowlevel http stuff is also being frowned upon.
Consider creating a multiuser web-based game in a RESTful way, where
players can use a password to get access to their avatar. I haven't
figured out yet how to do such a thing according to REST, using Python
Standard Library modules.

I'm not on the rest-discuss list and therefore don't know what this is
referring to? What's wrong with returning an HTTP 401 Unauthorized error to
make the user provide a username and password?

Practicality beats purity, if the only piece of state you keep is
"this guy is logged in and he authenticated as 'Bob'" then you still
get 99.99% of the cleanliness of REST. If the workarounds to make
it 100% REST-ful actually make the solution harder to use and implement
then I'll gladly be [a little bit] non REST-ty.
The point of REST is to make things easier to do and cleaner to
understand, not just so you can name drop "REST", right?

Here's a nice little REST writeup with some sample Python code by Ken
MacLeod:
<http://bitsko.slc.ut.u s/blog/restful-api.writeback>
Otherwise, as Dave Kuhlman mentions it's not that hard to build REST on
top of some of the existing frameworks like Quixote.

I thought REST was about "interoperabili ty", a stupid word and I would
like another but my English is bad. The idea is that HTTP + XML is so
much standard that everybody can use your services.
But for some, think about people in the industry, the strongest
argument for REST is scalability. The web and email are the only
examples of *really* scalable application, where the numbers are
dozens of millions. And REST is the web's architecture.

Oops, my apology! I just scanned the page *really fast* and the shell code
registered as Python. I better perform the sackcloth and ashes
ritual to regain Python purity.

the best, or at least how they stack up to each other?
