But now, for the following url string, I want the following standard

For the above standard url string, I want the controller to be the
wildcard that takes a controller name and then I want the action to be
something that's constant like 'run'.  Basically, I don't want the
design where I keep adding more actions into a controller.  I want my
controller to inherit the base controller class and call run 'run'
method to take care of the request.  I currently have:

map.connect(':controller/*', controller=':controller', action='run')

As you can see, I"m trying to make my route point to the controller
that was passed in and then hardcode the action to 'run' which each
controller file will define.

How can I acheive this wildcarding etc.. in routes?

With the wildcard option:
http://routes.groovie.org/manual.html#route-path

Just have:
map.connect(':controller/*url', action='run', url=None)

Your run action will always be called, doesn't need a url on the end (take away the default if you want it), and it'll match anything after the controller name.
