I have an existing REST application serving either JSON or XML. I can use the framework (Play) to render templates directly, but I'm not allowed to (arbitrary homework requirement they just invented), and forced to use a second layer to consume, process and render the REST objects.
I want to use Django/Python if possible. What do you recommend? Something where I'm not parsing JSON directly would be nice.
Is it possible in Django? I would like to do all my templating and views at this level. So something with a good templating language is needed.
Or should I be using something even more lightweight like httpLib/urlLib?

Inside your Django app, you can easily use the urllib
and json
modules in the Python standard library to pull data from URLs, and then parse them as JSON.
