    <p>The <a href="http://www.web2py.com" rel="nofollow">web2py</a> Python web framework recently added functionality to <a href="http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10#Restful-Web-Services" rel="nofollow">automatically generate RESTful APIs</a> based on data models defined via its <a href="http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/6" rel="nofollow">database abstraction layer</a> (DAL).</p> <p>If you have an existing database schema, you'll need to model it using the web2py DAL in order to use this new RESTful API functionality. To make this easier, there are scripts to automatically generate web2py DAL models from existing <a href="http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/scripts/extract_mysql_models.py" rel="nofollow">MySQL</a> and <a href="http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/scripts/extract_pgsql_models.py" rel="nofollow">PostgreSQL</a> databases (the scripts could probably be adapted easily for other databases as well).</p> <p>Note, the web2py DAL (and this RESTful API functionality) can be used as a standalone module, independent of the rest of the web2py framework (i.e., you can use it with other web frameworks or Python programs). Also, the DAL not only works with most relational databases, but also with the Google App Engine datastore (and support is being added for CouchDB and MongoDB as well).</p> <p>If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/web2py" rel="nofollow">web2py mailing list</a>. We'd also be happy to get feedback on the new REST functionality.</p>

    1. COWaow ! This is exactly the kind of framework I was looking into. Now the "python" part of my question is answered.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
