web2py (7 lines): https://gist.github.com/3798093
Includes creation of models, validator, controllers and urls.
Rules:
- Must have [at least] the same functionality as my 7-line example
- Imports are allowed and not taken into line count, on the condition
that everything remains generic. I.e.: one can change model and
controller names &etc without modifying imported libraries
- Can't import/take the code from web2py (e.g.:
https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/gluon/tools.py#L4098)
(feel free to write them in reply to this email and/or as gist comments =])
Good luck!

I love the idea, even though I shan't be entering. Code golf is awesome fun!

My latest golf game involved importing code comments and text-file
annotations into autodoc markup... with two one-liners. And it only
needed two because I did it in two parts (wasn't even aware of the
text file until I'd done the code comments).
Of course, a real RESTful API is likely to have rather more guts in
it, but it's cool how little you need of structure!

Code golf is indeed awesome fun and I usually enjoy taking part as well.
However, I'm not a fan of code golf such as this, that uses a framework
and then defines a rule that you *can't* hack on the same framework.
In the framework/external module spirit, I *could* write a module that
does *all* of this for me (in Pyramid, Django, web2py, etc) and then
enter with a simple method call in another module.
Done. One liner. I win ;)
I much prefer code golf that tests algorithmic/core language feature
knowledge. Of course, that's entirely only my opinion.

Well I suppose I could lax that same requirement. I.e.: if you can get
these decorators (also working with RBAC) in, for example: Django;
then it still satisfied the rules :)
