For the client part, there is an easy_installable library called
restclient (which
I tested very little but it seems to work). For the server part, I am
sure there are
many available, but is also easy to write your own. For instance,
using WSGI,
you can do something like:

   def restful_wsgi_app(env, resp):
        meth = env.get('REQUEST_METHOD')
        if meth == 'GET':
            ...
        elif meth == 'POST':
            ...
        elif meth == 'PUT':
            ....
        elif meth == 'DELETE':
            ...
        else:
            raise ValueError('Unknown HTTPMethod %r!!' % meth)
        ...
