question on django-piston example url mapping
harm
When reading the examples in the source code [1] I don't understand
fully how this is supposed to work.
It has the following code
url(r'^posts/$', blogposts),
url(r'^posts/(?P<emitter_format>.+)/$', blogposts),
url(r'^posts\.(?P<emitter_format>.+)', blogposts,
name='blogposts'),
Now how can indidual posts be read ? I don't see an url mapping for
posts/<ik>/
Am I missing something ?
How can individual posts with a certain title be Read (GET)? The
mathing handler.py::read() seems to indicate thats very well possible.
2nd question:
What exactly doe the 3rd line above do ? What does it add ?(compared
to the 2nd).

It seems that the url mapping for reading individual posts isn't
there. Must've forgotten. Should be easy to add though.
The difference between the 3 urls:
1. You GET /api/posts/, which will give you all posts, in the default
emitter, JSON.
2. You GET /api/posts/<format>/, which will select another emitter
(e.g. /api/posts/xml/)
3. You GET /api/posts.<format>, again, emitter selection (e.g. /api/
posts.yaml). That way it looks like a "file."

I dont get how the *args & **kwargs get filled in:
def read(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
Say I want to select an individual post, by selecting on a field.
api/posts/?title=sometitle
How would that be achieved ?
When I override read()
def read(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
print args
print kwargs
I don't see anything in the args & kwargs, when passing parameters.

No, the *args and **kwargs are catch-all here, and aren't really
necessary. If you want the title, you either need to include it in
your url mapping (e.g. (?P<title>.*)), or get it from request.GET.
