Hi Jacek,

Great to see more development going into Twisted-based web stuff! :)

However, I do have one question.  Maybe I'm missing something about the way 
Flask does things, but it seems very odd to me that the decorators you're using 
are applied to global functions, rather than instances of an object.  For 
example, instead of:

app = CorePost()
...
@app.route("/validate/<int:rootId>/schema",Http.POST)
@validate(schema=TestSchema)
def postValidateSchema(request,rootId,childId,**kwargs):
    '''Validate using a common schema'''
    return "%s - %s - %s" % (rootId,childId,kwargs)

You could do:

class MyPost(CorePost):
    @route("/validate/<int:rootId>/schema",Http.POST)
    @validate(schema=TestSchema)
    def postValidateSchema(self,request,rootId,childId,**kwargs):
        '''Validate using a common schema'''
        return "%s - %s - %s" % (rootId,childId,kwargs)

This would allow for re-usable objects; for example, rather than having a "blog 
article create" API (sorry for the uninspired example, it's late) for your 
entire site, you would have a "article create" API on a "Blog", which would 
enable you to have multiple Blog objects (perhaps with different authors, in 
different permission domains, etc).  This would also make re-using the relevant 
objects between different applications easier.

In other words, global variables are bad, and this looks like it depends rather 
heavily on them.

Any thoughts on this?  Am I missing the point?

Thanks,
