Simple REST framework for Twisted

Diablo aims to be simple to use REST framework for Twisted. Ultimately diablo should incorporate pretty much the same functionality as its big brother, the Devil.

Currently diablo provides following features:

Django style URL routing
Method dispatching (invoke appropriate handler function based on HTTP method)
Automatic content type negotiation
Support for authentication (only HTTP Basic out of the box)

Example

myproject.tac:

from twisted.application import service, internet
from twisted.web.server import Site
from diablo.api import RESTApi

HTTP_PORT = 8000

routes = [
    ('/user/(?P<user>.{3,20})?(/)?$', 'myproject.Users'),
    ('/order/(?P<order>\d{1,10})(/)?$', 'myproject.Orders'),
]

application = service.Application("MyApplication")

class MyService(internet.TCPServer):
    """ REST API """

    def __init__(self):
        internet.TCPServer.__init__(
            self, HTTP_PORT, Site(RESTApi(routes)))
MyService().setServiceParent(application)

myproject.py:

from diablo.resource import Resource
from diablo import http

class Users(Resource):
	def get(self, request, *args, **kw):
		user_id = kw['user']
		if something_bad:
			raise http.BadRequest()
		else:
			return {
				'name': 'Luke Skywalker',
				'age': 23,
			}

If someone would send any other HTTP method besides GET to the Users resource, diablo would automatically return 405 Method Not Allowed.
