I don't know anything about this REST stuff, but I do note that you called:
h.url_for(id=num.number) # "id"
but setup the map:
map.connect('users/:user/numbers/:number', controller='users/numbers/
numbers', action='delete',
conditions=dict(method=['DELETE']))
You used ":number" instead of ":id".
I would guess that that is the problem.
Happy Hacking!
