Routes does not know anything about query parameters. Action
arguments can only be routing variables, not query parameters. Matt's
suggestion with legacy_view is a good one. You could also do this:
def view(self, username=None):
username = username or request.params.get("username")
Or if you wanted to get fancy you could pass a condition function to
the route definition:
def my_function(environ, match_dict):
match_dict["username"] = request.params.get("username")
return True
map.connect(..., conditions={"function": my_function})
But this is arguably too complex for the situation.
