You're not supposed to copy it everywhere -- it stays in the app folder. A 
*different* routes.py file should be created in the /web2py folder, as 
noted in the docs. Also, you must change the "app" key in the sample file 
to the name of your actual application.

Ok, 

Created new project from scratch, renamed this file, copied it everywhere - 
app folder, web2py library etc etc.
used breakpoints, but none of them works.

how can i debug routes ?
I couldn't find a root cause of this :(

His filtering thread relates to tagging, I think.  Tagging is only 
discussed briefly in the book, and my guidelines come from Massimo's 
github'd example and Leonel's comments:

I don't know if those help the OP, who seems to have a solution that I 
haven't absorbed yet.

His May posts relate to BLOB types and are unanswered.  I haven't any 
direct experience with BLOBs so I don't know how much is paticular to the 
DB engine and how much the various drivers smooth that out.  I don't store 
images or videos in the DB yet, and the upload files are all I've had to 
deal with (and those are, of course, stored in the filesystem with a 
reference in the DB).

And of course that's described in the book, but as a sub-sub-heading under 
the pattern system subheading.


(Perhaps instead of being 3rd level, that paragraph should be elevated to 
2nd level?)

Oh, I see you are referring to the example app-specific routes.py file, 
which can remain where it is, in its own app's folder. However, you need to 
make sure you also have a base routes.py file in the /web2py root folder, 
and as noted in the routes.example.py file, you must change the dictionary 
key "app" to be the name of your actual application.

As the docs state, you don't just rename those files -- the routes.py file 
must be put in the /web2py root folder. If it is in the right place and 
still not working as expected, there is probably something wrong with the 
code.

I found, in contrast,  that I could get a lot done by reading the book, and 
even now many of my questions here have answers in the book ... I just lost 
track of where.  (Early on, I got the hardcopy of the book, and read all 
the way through it, putting in a lot of bookmarks.  Now, I mostly use the 
online copy, as I do for Python documentation.)

It's cheating to say I just used what was in the book and what was in the 
routes.py sample file, because before I tried I had been reading the group 
for quite a while.  Also, I chose the simpler technique, and have it do 
simple things:

routers = dict(

# base router
BASE=dict(
default_application='LogServer',
root_static = ['favicon.ico', 'robots.txt'],
),
)

I don't use pyCharm; we have a couple people who have posted here about how 
to use pyCharm with web2py;  I believe one of them even got some changes 
adopted by pyCharm to handle web2py better, and those related to directory 
structure IIRC.
 

Good luck!
