First of all, you are totally right, there is a typo in the docs, there is no controllers.py ever - it should say controllers/root.py instead.
And on the other hand, for your understanding: TurboGears uses a different approach than Flask, which uses explicitly defined routes. In TurboGears you have a so called Object Dispatch - which means that in order to find the method to serve a request, starting from the RootController, attributes that are subclasses of TGController and methods with the @expose decorator are searched for something the matches your request url (with some wildcards, of course). You can read more about that here: - https://turbogears.readthedocs.org/en/rtfd2.2.2/main/Controllers.html?highlight=object%20dispatch - https://turbogears.readthedocs.org/en/rtfd2.2.2/main/TGControllers.html?highlight=object%20dispatch - Or in the development docs, which are completely reordered and overhauled: https://turbogears.readthedocs.org/en/development/turbogears/controllers.html#basic-dispatch So for your example, in order to see something at /hello, you add the following to the RootController: @expose('hello.html') def hello(self): return dict() The method name is the url fragment that gets matched.
