I have a django application that I'd like to add some rest interfaces to. I've seen http://code.google.com/p/django-rest-interface/ but it seems to be pretty simplistic. For instance it doesn't seem to have a way of enforcing security. How would I go about limiting what people can view and manipulate through the rest interface? Normally I'd put this kind of logic in my views. Is this the right place or should I be moving some more logic down into the model? Alternatively is there a better library out there or do I need to roll my own?

Django REST framework (DRF) is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs. Its main benefit is that it makes serialization much easier. Django REST framework is based on Django's class-based views, so it's an excellent option if you're familiar with Django.
REST is a loosely defined protocol for listing, creating, changing, and deleting data on your server over HTTP. The Django REST framework (DRF) is a toolkit built on top of the Django web framework that reduces the amount of code you need to write to create REST interfaces.
In order to complete your app, if you want to code more python / Django code then use Django, to the contrary if you want to code more JavaScript code then use Django restful API. For web application itself I like using Django ,because it is based on python ,it is much cleaner and shorter than js.
I would look into using django-piston http://bitbucket.org/jespern/django-piston/wiki/Home application if security is your main concern.
I have used django-rest-interface in the past, its reliable and though simple can be quite powerful, however django-piston seems more flexible going forward.
