from pylons.decorators import rest

class SomeController(BaseController):

    @rest.dispatch_on(POST='create_comment')
    def comment(self):
        # Do something with the comment

    def create_comment(self, id):
        # Do something if its a post to comment

pylons.decorators.rest.restrict(*methods)

from pylons.decorators import rest

class SomeController(BaseController):

    @rest.restrict('GET')
    def comment(self, id):
