A repro for developing Web Services written in Python, using Bottle (http://bottlepy.org/)
Bottle.py- Bottle is brilliant- if for nothing other than prototyping- It offers request dispatching (Routes) with url parameter support, templates, a built-in HTTP Server and adapters for many third party WSGI/HTTP-server and template engines - all in a single file and with no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library.
hmac_test.py is a simple python-only implementation of HMAC using the hmac module. testrestapi.py is a simple Bottle implementation of RESTful API using HMAC for authentication. ParagraphBuilder.py is a simple data 'model'- creates Lorum Ipsum text.
