Fast, documented and reliable JSON based webservices with Python

Web development is more and more moving to rich JavaScript and mobile applications, building a fast and reliable API server has become a core foundation in such situations.

The new 2.3 version of TurboGears2 is aiming at providing a great toolkit on both Python3 and Python2 for such cases thanks to builtin support for:

• New minimal mode for small single file applications.
• Gevent based deploy on Mozilla Circus using the new GearBox toolkit
• The TGJSonAutodoc sphinx extension for automatically documenting JSON based API
• Out of the box support for MongoDB using the Ming ODM
• The DebugBar profiler and query analyzer for MongoDB

Those tools can make really easy to quickly prototype a fully working and documented web service, greatly improving a developer life and quality of the services. Even deployment can become a single line command thanks to the GearBox toolkit integration with Mozilla Circus while the jsoncall sphinx extension can really speed up service documentation thanks to its tgjsonautodoc directive.
