For an optional component you'd define two routes. (Or enable
minimization but that is error-prone.) I'm also not sure about
matching a partial URL component rather than an entire component,
although I guess it might be OK.
map.connect("/test", controller="test", action="test", page=1)
map.connect("/test/{page}", controller="test", action="test")
This would match:
/test -> test(page=1)
/test/2 -> test(page="2")
It may be more REST-ly correct to do something like this:
map.connect("/test/pages/{page}", controller="test", action="test")
And then make /test redirect to /test/pages/1.
map.redirect("/test", "/test/pages/1")
You could also make page a query parameter, in which case it would be
outside the routing system.
map.connect("/test", controller="test", action="test")
/test?page=2
def test(self):
page = request.params.get("page", 1)
page = int(page) # Raises ValueError
