        everest - REST applications for python
        ======================================
        
        
        ``everest`` is an extension of the popular
        `Pyramid <http://www.pylonsproject.org/>`_ framework aimed at simplifying the
        development of REST applications in `Python <http://www.python.org>`_.
        
        ``everest`` features in a nutshell:
        
        * A resource declaration framework that allows you to expose an entity domain
          model through a REST application;
        * Extensible views for performing standard CRUD operations on resources in
          response to REST requests;
        * Representers that convert resources to string representations and vice versa
          for a number of MIME types (XML, ATOM, CSV, JSON);
        * A repository layer with four different storage backends: a memory backend, a
          file system backend, a NoSQL database backend and a relational database
          backend;
        * A query language for expressing complex hierarchical queries on the resource
          object tree through URLs;
        * A Flex client
          (`distributed separately <https://github.com/cenix/everest-flex>`_).
        
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Installing ``everest`` is simple. You need
        
        * A recent version of Python (2.7.x). See
          `here <http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/>`_ for instructions;
        * The pip Python package installer. Install in a shell with the command
        
          .. code-block:: console
        
             > easy_install pip
        
        With these requirements in place, all you need to do to install ``everest`` is
        to issue the command
        
        .. code-block:: console
