title: Needed advice to automate REST services test
body: <p>I am kind of newbie to REST and testing dept. I needed to write automation scripts to test our REST services.We are planning to run these scripts from a Jenkins CI job regularly. I prefer writing these in python as we already have UI functionality testing scripts in python generated by selenium IDE, but I am open to any good solution.I checked httplib,simplejson and Xunit, but looking for better solutions available out there. 
  And also, I would prefer to write a template and generate actual script for each REST API by reading api info from xml or something. Advance thanks to all advices.</p>
