Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about A Django Anti-Pattern, Rolling Your Own REST, here is a quick summary:

Almost every web project ends up with a little slice of REST to call its own. One of the great conveniences of working with Django is that it makes rolling these slices of REST very simple. Simple enough that we as a community are still haven't come up with a compelling unified REST solution. Hopefully we can refocus on this problem a bit with the new 1.0 roadmap, and have something really useful ready to go when Django 1.0 hits the newsstands.

Your locate_class_by_string function is a python anti-pattern.

Better use generator expressions (30% faster):

capitalized_string = '_'.join(part.capitalize() for part in string.split('_'))
   

But more pythonic way is to not reinvent the wheel and use title() method (10 times faster!):

capitalized_string = string.title()
