I need to create a Python REST/JSON web service for an iOS app to interact with. There will be no front end on the web.
What will be the fastest, most lightweight framework to use for this? Learning curve to implement also considered?
From the research I've done Django-Tastypie or Djanjo-Piston look like the best options, with Tastypie winning because the codebase is being maintained actively?

Flask Restful is an extension of the Flask framework used by developers to build rest APIs quickly. It is known for making micro web services because it has a very lightweight module. It is swift and requires only a few code lines to initialize the Flask and start using it to make an API.
By using Python and REST APIs, you can retrieve, parse, update, and manipulate the data provided by any web service you're interested in.
Flask. Flask is a massively popular web framework for Python. With over 50k stars on GitHub, it is the most widely used and well-adapted framework for building web applications using Python. Over the years, Flask has added a lot of feature updates, which makes it almost as good as a full stack framework.
At Pycon Australia, Richard Jones compared the most popular lightweight web frameworks. Bottle came out on top. Here is the full presentation.
