VestaRestPackage 1.9.3

Code to facilitate creation of Vesta Service Gateway.

This package offers helper modules for exposing services working in a distributed Service architecture through a REST interface. The work being executed by these services might be an annotation process or a form of conversion process taking a significant amount of time thereby benefiting from a distributed processing system with a REST interface.

Messages are communicated through a Celery distributed processing queue system.

This package offers basic functionality yet is meant to be wrapped by a higher level package which will offer a full application package.

Known examples of applications which use this package are:

• Vesta Load Balancer (alias Service Gateway or SG)

• Multimedia Storage System

Installation of this package can be done as follows:

pip install VestaRestPackage
