You are missing something. Let me explain:
What your code looks like in default.py after uncommenting auth.wiki() is
this:
def index():
return auth.wiki()
Web2py is working in the most obvious way. The URL structure in web2py is
domain/app/controller/function. In this example localhost is your
domain, simoncarr is your app, default is your controller, index is your
function and contactme is a wiki page that the function is returning. If
you go to localhost/simoncarr/default/contactme, web2py is looking for a
function called contactme in default.py. That function does not exist.
Contactme is a wiki page returned by auth.wiki().
You can use routes.py to rewrite URLs to hide the function or you can
rename the function and set a new default in routes.py for that domain.
