urls = ('/memory','PrintStatement')
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = web.application(urls,globals())
    app.run()

class PrintStatement:
    def GET(self):

_____________________________________________

3> From the command line run : python example.py

ie. In one command window, run the server:
     $ python example.py
        http://0.0.0.0:8080/
     ...

4> Open the URL : http://localhost:8080/memory

ADMIRAL Interface Restful API document attached.

I note your document still shows POST to /user/{user-id} for adding a new user, 
rather than to /users.
