[Twisted-web] CorePost - a tiny Flask-style REST microframework for twisted.web

[Jacek Furmankiewicz]

The point is that I more or less blindly copied the Flask API when starting
on this, due to relative lack of experience with Python :-)
I figured their way must be the Pythonic way and went along with it.

I like your suggestion a lot more, it is definitely more OOP and cleaner.
Expect it to be reworked accordingly in the next release

Cheers
Jacek
