Local Python wrapper around REST API - experiences?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

We have a Django app providing a restful API.

I'd like to offer a Python-based API around the service - without having people directly use requests.

Not that requests isn't awesome =) - but we wanted to make this dead simple for people, and also abstract away some of the nuances of our data.

Do you have any recommendations for good wrappers that work well with django-rest-framework?

I'm aware of Finch (https://github.com/jaimegildesagredo/finch), but I don't know of any others.

Do people have any experience with this, or making their own Python APIs around a REST service?

Cheers,

Victor

Haven't tried it myself, but it looks like slightly higher level than requests
