I know of Flask, Django and Pyramid. I don't want anything that has those in it, i all i want is a pure Rest Framework (not Web framework with REST extensions). Something that is used for just RESTful ApI.
Just Models and Controllers no views.
Thanks in advance.

#2have you looked into Tornado?

#3Just because a framework offers views doesn't mean that it's too heavy for you. If no views are being processed, they're adding a negligible amount of overhead just from loading the code.
You don't necessarily even need a framework. You could use some libraries. You only need: routing, HTTP request processing, and HTTP response preparation.

yes i just did, its a web framework, not pure REST framework

#6you said that you don't want any flask, but have you looked at Flask-Restless ?
Flask just gives you the routing part maybe you can even strip flask out of it and just use wsgi.
You can try http://python-eve.org/ too

I've actually only used Django, Flask, and CherryPy for Python projects, so I haven't researched that stuff.
In general, I strongly support the idea of tying together tiny libraries, rather than using a framework. It takes months to learn every line of code in an end-to-end framework, but if you're pulling in just the 2-3 libraries you need, you can understand every line of your code. That's really important for efficiency/bugfixing/maintenance.

#8If you're still looking for something, I've hacked a wrapper over Bottle to ease the implementation of a REST service, it's small (2 python files including Bottle) and might fit your needs: https://github.com/fclaerho/rest

You could check out werkzeug: http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/
Note: Flask is basically just a combination of werkzeug and jinja for templating.

#10Werkzeug is the Flask HTTP handler. It can be useful for you. I know restpy [0], based on werkzeug.
