I know that this is slightly confusing, but bear with me.
If there's no router specified in routes.py (or no routes.py) web2py makes
assumptions about the default path if elements are missing. The built-in
default is /init/default/index, and you can override that in routes.py without
including an actual router (as in your example). When you do this, there is no
rewriting (because there is no router).
If I understand your goal, you want something like this:
routers = dict(
# base router
BASE=dict(
default_application='myapp',
),
myapp=dict(
default_controller = 'default'
default_function = 'index'
),
)
Because you're not changing the *router* defaults for controller and function,
you can just write this:
routers = dict(
# base router
BASE=dict(
default_application='myapp',
),
)
...but I prefer to make things explicit.
