Creating delicious APIs for Django apps since 2010.

• Python 2.4+
• Django 1.0+
• mimeparse (http://code.google.com/p/mimeparse/)
• lxml (http://codespeak.net/lxml/) if using the XML serializer
• pyyaml (http://pyyaml.org/) if using the YAML serializer

You want an API framework that has less magic, very flexible and maps well to the problem domain.

You want an API framework that doesn't involve overriding a 115+ line __call__ function to assert some control over your API.

You want to support my perceived NIH syndrome, which is less about NIH and more about trying to help out friends/coworkers.
