REST toolkit
Project description
rest_toolkit is a Python package which provides a very convenient way to build REST servers. It is build on top of Pyramid, but you do not need to know much about Pyramid to use rest_toolkit.
Quick example
This is a minimal example which defines a Root resource with a GET view, and starts a simple HTTP server. If you run this example you can request http://localhost:8080/ and you will see a JSON response with a status message.
from rest_toolkit import quick_serve
from rest_toolkit import resource
@resource('/')
class Root(object):
def __init__(self, request):
pass
@Root.GET()
def show_root(root, request):
return {'status': 'OK'}
if __name__ == '__main__':
quick_serve()
Changelog
0.6 - November 4, 2014
Make sure controllers for resource whose path do not end in a slash are reachable. This fixes issue 12.
Fix mismatch between code and documentation: use request_method as parameter name for the controller decorator.
0.5 - October 24, 2014
Allow overriding the request method for controllers. This fixes issue 10.
Add read_permission, update_permission and delete_permission options to the resource decorator to set permissions for default views. This fixes issue 8.
Rely on fixtures provided by pyramid_sqlalchemy for our SQL-related tests.
Preserve headers when converting a HTTP response to JSON. This fixes issue 6.
The route name for a resource can now be configured with a route_name parameter for the resource decorator.
0.4.1 - July 18, 2014
Make sure all raised HTTP exceptions are converted to JSON responses.
0.4 - July 18, 2014
This releases focuses on improving the documentation and fixing problems in the SQL extension.
Fix several errors in the SQLResource defaults views.
Configuring the SQL extension is no longer necessary if you use pyramid_sqlalchemy to handle SQLAlchemy integration.
Travis is now setup to automatically run tests on CPython 2.7, CPython 3.3, CPython 3.4 and PyPy.
Fix Python 3 compatibility problem in the generic error view.
Drop explicit Python 2.6 support. The tests use too many set literals to make Python 2.6 worthwile.
Modify EditableResource to not inherit from ViewableResource. This makes the separation between editing and viewing explicit, and works around the inability of Python to handle the inheritance schemes where a base classes is used multiple times.
Remove the default value for replace in EditableResource.updat_from_dict(). This did not serve a useful purpose, and could be confusing.
Set self.request in SQLResource constructor.
0.3 - July 11, 2014
This release fixes several critical errors in the SQL extension:
Fix the invoction of the context query.
Return not-found error from SQLResource instead of an internal error when no SQL row could be found.
Do not enable default views for SQLResource automatically. This should be an explicit decision by the user.
0.2.2 - July 11, 2014

0.2.1 - July 10, 2014
Add a MANIFEST.in to the source distribution installable.
