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

[Jacek Furmankiewicz]

- tzyoga - will look at it. I just really liked the minimal super easy API
of Flask (which in turn is probably inspired by Sinatra) and that's what I
wanted to bring to Twisted.
- spawnProcess - got it. Will look into that

thank you for your feedback

Jacek
