Mulib
Mulib
Mulib is a REST web service framework built on top of eventlet.httpd. Httpd parses incoming HTTP request and generates the response; mulib takes care of locating the object which will handle the request (url traversal) and calling the appropriate callback method based on the method of the request. Code written using mulib looks like a series of subclasses of mu.Resource which override methods such as handle_get or handle_post, making it easy to implement web services.
The stacked traversal code also knows how to traverse python objects like dicts and lists. Using that style, it is possible to easily interact with compositional data structures through the Web.

Limitations
- Mulib can expose native python objects via a RESTful interface, but it doesn't yet have any inbuilt access control, so being able to read the objects also means being able to write or delete them. However, this is only a problem if you choose to expose your objects in this way.
