Hello,
I'm trying to write a REST-style backend using webpy and wondered if
anyone had suggestions or examples. The app deals with data sets in
the 10k to 100k range of similar items, with the need to select out
views of the data with different groupings and orders based on the
properties of the items and return JSON for client side parsing. So
what I wanted to do was something like this:
* /{container-uuid}/ (general listing of items)
* /{container-uuid}/attribute (listing of items with the attribute)
* /{container-uuid}/attribute/value (listing of items with the
specific attribute value)
* /{container-uuid}/{item-id} (summary listing of single item)
* /{container-uuid}/{item-id}/detailed (detailed listing of a
single item)
I wanted to use the GET parameters for iterating through the result
sets (using jqGrid for the HTML view) to handle skip, offset, sort
order, etc. When I started to try doing this I ran into an
inconsistency in the subapp regex handling, basically you can't use
regex in subapps:

Trying to keep everything in one giant python script makes the code
difficult to read and it will take some careful planning to break
things out into libraries or functions. Either that or I'll have to
put all the parameters into GET/POST/DELETE variables which is not
what I want to do either. Has anyone got a good template or example
for doing this kind of thing?
Tony
