======================

Project Status: Failed

======================

The goal here was to try to provide a framework-agnostic REST API layer for

all Python libraries. Think Tastypie_ abstracted for all to use.

It's frighteningly close to done (just some cleanup in ``resources.py`` to

remove the last bits of Django & delegate to the URIHandler, then updating

tests & docs), but I won't be finishing it.

The problem is that, while the idea of consistent API interfaces across

frameworks & heavily-pluggable sounds good, the actual implementation... hurts.

Everything has to be abstracted so far away that it'd be little use

out-of-the-box, which is where Tastypie shines.

In addition, I wouldn't ever use it, beyond integrating it into Tastypie.

Beyond that, I don't think adoption would be good enough to justify it.

You're welcome to poke at it or fork it (keep in mind the LICENSE please),

but I won't be completing it nor supporting it. YMMV. Must be 18 years of age

or older. Only one per household. Offer void Oct. 18, 2011.
