I’m still plucking away at this project as time allows using CherryPy. This weekend I just started to use it and finally got a working environmental configuration system and then next step was to figure out if RESTful controllers could be used. As it turns out you can not only use RESTful controllers but have the additional benefit of format types as well (html, xml, json, etc).

This is due to the CherryPy RoutesDispatcher using the routes library. I’ve successfully setup dispatcher with RESTful routes and have tests to show that they work as planned.

I’ll do a follow up post with working examples this weekend.
