The way RESTController is designed, your get_one is never called. The dispatch found your myaction method in the People class, so it calls it with the argument. There is a Movie/MovieDirector example in http://turbogears.org/2.0/docs/main/RestControllers.html that shows how to get the URLs to work according to #1. Using the promote example, you would want to create a Promotion RESTController. This way you can give a People object a Promotion by sending the state to the post method of that object and it would follow the RESTful design guidelines of not putting verbs in your URLs. Another, perhaps more representative way of accomplishing this would be to use a JobTitle RESTController rather than a Promotion controller. Giving someone a promotion would just entail posting a jobtitle/<job title id> to a particular people/<people id>.
