[Mailman-Developers] Status of RESTful branch

[Barry Warsaw]

At Pycon, several of us sprinted on exposing Mailman 3's administrative interface via RESTful services. I've been making slow but steady progress since then on the infrastructure for this. With the lazr.restful package married to the standard wsgiref module, I now have the basics of its operation working. For example, if you start the rest (http) server, you can now hit http://localhost:8001/3.0/ system and get a JSON response with the Mailman and Python version strings.

This is the only URL currently implemented, and it's only GET. Patrick, Andreas, Florian and I worked out some preliminary URL space and we have a basic architectural design here: http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/PyCon+Sprint+2009

Enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions or comments.

I think this is going to work out pretty well, and now that I have the basics working, my next step is to implement some simple POST, PUT, or DELETE operations. If those also pan out, then I'll be merging my development branch back into the trunk. For now, you can follow along with this branch: lp:~barry/mailman/rest
