We built RESTful Web Services with Django, Flask, and Tornado. However, Python has many other Web frameworks that are also suitable for building RESTful APIs. Everything we learned throughout the book about designing, building, testing, and deploying a RESTful API is also applicable to any other Python Web framework we decide to use. The following list enumerates additional frameworks and their main Web page:
- Pyramid: http://www.pylonsproject.org/
- Bottle: http://bottlepy.org/
- Falcon: https://falconframework.org/
As always happens with any Python Web framework, there are additional packages that might simplify our most common tasks. For example, it is possible to use Ramses in combination with Pyramid to create RESTful APIs by working with RAML (RESTful API Modeling Language), whose specification is available at http://github.com/raml-org/raml-spec. You can read more details about Ramses at http://ramses.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started.html.
