I'm not sure what part REST folks don't seem to get regarding PUT.

But in any case, I have not been able to get PUT to work in a 
PythonScript in Zope 2.7.2 because PythonScript objects have a PUT 
method that assumes it's a DAV upload.

PythonScript.py line 368 or so


    def PUT(self, REQUEST, RESPONSE):
        """ Handle HTTP PUT requests """
        self.dav__init(REQUEST, RESPONSE)
        self.dav__simpleifhandler(REQUEST, RESPONSE, refresh=1)
        self.write(REQUEST.get('BODY', ''))
        RESPONSE.setStatus(204)
        return RESPONSE


Plus that method is protected by "Change Python Scripts" permission as 
well.
