Question

I’m willing to build a restful service using Django, I’m coming form RoR background and facing some problems that could be defined using the following questions:

1. What package do you recommend to use to have RESTful interfaces?
2. Is there a way to make nested resources like a post HTTP request to /posts/post_id/comments that adds a new comment ?
3. Is there a way to add some extra actions out of the CRUD set, like having extra method called notify on Post resource that works on post HTTP request.

Cheers,
