slumber 0.3.0

A library that makes consuming a REST API easier and more convenient

Slumber

Slumber is a python library that provides a convenient yet powerful object orientated interface to ReSTful APIs. It acts as a wrapper around the excellent httplib2 library and abstracts away the handling of urls, serialization, and processing requests.

Getting Help

There are two primary ways of getting help. We have a mailing list hosted at Google (http://groups.google.com/group/python-slumber/) and an IRC channel (#slumber on irc.freenode.net) to get help, want to bounce idea or generally shoot the breeze.
