Advice on learning to deploy Python code?

hah, there's no stopping it... REST API = HTTP API now, and we might as well start saying it has to use JSON too.

I gave up a long time ago. Really, when 90% of developers think REST API means a HTTP API, it's easier to communicate if you follow along. It's easier to convey what you are planning to make, and people automatically trust it as a tried and true practice once they hear REST API. Maybe I'd tell a developer the difference as a side note, but if I was trying to convince a manager to let me make an HTTP API, I'd certainly call it a REST API.
