The parameter based system was designed to make such common scenarios much
easier. If all you want to do is remove the app name and the index
function, your entire routes.py would just be:
routers = dict(
BASE = dict(
default_application = 'myapp',
default_controller = 'default',
default_function = 'index'
functions = ['list', 'of', 'functions', 'in', 'default',
'controller']
)
)
Note, that last line (listing the functions) is optional, but needed in
order to resolve ambiguities with URL args.
