What is the highest performance REST microframework?

Happy if it's mostly written in C or C++; as long as it provides a simple routes interface in Python. Currently using bottle and utilizing its application, @route and app.merge(app2) extra features.

What do you mean by performance? Most of the time is going to be spent waiting for the network. Are you looking for maximum concurrent requests handled? Minimum latency/overhead? Something else?

The biggest performance gains on HTTP architectures are usually made by doing proper HTTP caching. Without knowing anything about your architecture is hard to tell something more specific :)

Any ReST aware editor for python?

I have editors which will use syntax highlighting on .rst files, but I'm hoping for something a bit smarter.

What I'd like is an editor with a split window, one side showing the rst that I can edit, the other side showing the formatted text updated as I type. (Or at least, updated every thirty seconds or so.)

Anybody know anything like that?

REST framework Editor in Python

I am trying to put one search engine interface in REST. To do this I am trying to learn Restframework and Django. One question occurred to me is, whether there is any Restframework editor which may do this job.

Is there any?

I was trying to find out https://pypi.python.org/pypi/restview , is it doing this? In that case, if any one may kindly share some examples or tutorial for it.

Which Python Framework for REST API and Facebook Wrapper?

I will be designing a REST based API for a cross-platform back end that will serve both desktop Facebook users as well as mobile users. It will handle operations such as user creation, retrieval of user and other data, payment verification and in the case of the desktop side, handle the html/css template customization. The database back end is MySQL and I do need a cache system.

Currently we were using Codeigniter (PHP) for our codebase but as CI seems on the way out, I do not wish to start a new project based on it. I was looking at Laravel for PHP, but, Python is very attractive to me as a language and since the introduction of WSGI, I am confident it can make a difference in performance and code maintainability over PHP while being able to plug in to our dedicated server infrastructure.

Since I am not experienced with Python frameworks (though learning curve is not much of an issue for me) I look to the community to understand which Python framework can rival or surpass Codeigniter in terms of performance in heavy traffic backend solutions (over 1M requests per day, with up to 100 req/sec at peak). I really want to make the switch from PHP to Python as I believe that Python can solve more problems with less code and faster execution time, not to mention freedom from brackets and semicolons.
