This is the second weekly status update for my Summer of Code project, a generic REST interface for Django [1].
This week, I was mostly working on improving the architecture of the code, in particular by splitting ModelResource into two classes, Collection (for querysets) and Entry (for individual models). Other improvements include appropriate HTTP status codes for POST/PUT requests, the option to use templates for the response formatting (TemplateResponder), basic pagination (works both with serialized and templated output) and load_put_and_files, a function that populates request.PUT and request.FILES via _load_post_and_files. Compared to my initial timetable, I am in time. Looking at my last status report, I notice that error handling isn't perfect yet (needs to be unified) and the option to limit the model fields exposed by the API and the inclusion of resource URIs in serialized output are not done yet. The main thing I will do next week is to think about and improve automated URL generation. I am still working on the first part of my proposal (resources that correspond directly to models). If you have any thoughts on what should or should not be possible with such a REST API or if you have specific comments on the code, please let me know.
