Thumbs up for Django REST framework. While being younger than tastypie and piston, it has some more cool features besides the mentioned creation of doc above.
It also creates a HTML debug interface for every resource and follows the class based views and form validation paradigms of django making it powerful and esay to learn. It's under active development - the other two were not the last time I looked.
