[]
>> requests.post('http://localhost:5000/todos',
headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
data=json.dumps({'task': 'go outside!'})).json()
{u'id': 1, u'task': u'go outside!', u'uri': u'http://localhost:5000/todos/1'}
>> requests.get('http://localhost:5000/todos/1').json()
{u'id': 1, u'task': u'go outside!', u'uri': u'http://localhost:5000/todos/1'}
>> requests.put('http://localhost:5000/todos/1',
headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
data=json.dumps({'task': 'go to the gym'})).json()
{u'id': 1, u'task': u'go to the gym', u'uri': u'http://localhost:5000/todos/1'}
>> requests.delete('http://localhost:5000/todos/1')
