Can I use PUT http method with Python Bottle?

Question

I'm trying to do this:

@get("/admin/questions/:question_id")
def question (question_id):
    pass
    #Some code for returning the question

@put("/admin/questions/:question_id")
    pass
    #I intend to write some code to update the question here.

Is this possible? GET and POST do work, PUT is apparently not working.

Answer 1

Yes, you can do this. See the documentation:

• http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/tutorial.html#http-request-methods
• http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/api.html#bottle.put

Example:

from bottle import put, run

@put("/foo")
def foo():
    return "Foo"

run()

I found this: https://myadventuresincoding.wordpress.com/2011/01/02/creating-a-rest-api-in-python-using-bottle-and-mongodb/ . It might be useful.

Answer 3

I've had the same question. The above links were helpful. I also found these webpages useful:

http://gotofritz.net/blog/weekly-challenge/restful-python-api-bottle/ (weekend code warrior creates restful interface in one page - this made it very clear for me)

http://www.marginhound.com/bottle-py-resources/ http://isbullsh.it/2011/11/Python-micro-frameworks/ http://publish.luisrei.com/articles/flaskrest.html

Once I took the time to go through these pages, it was surprisingly easy to implement.
