prestans 2.4.0

A WSGI compliant REST micro-framework

Prestans is a REST micro-framework built right on top of WSGI, designed to perform and co-exists with other middleware and frameworks that you employ.

- Handlers maps HTTP verbs to implemented class methods, complimented with custom
request parser and response writer (built on top of WebOb)
