Creating delicious APIs for Django apps since 2010.
- Python 2.4+
- Django 1.0+
- mimeparse (http://code.google.com/p/mimeparse/)
- dateutil (http://labix.org/python-dateutil)
- 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 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.
