Unless you have some other more complex URL requirements, I think you might
be overcomplicating things by constraining yourself to have separate
controllers for country, city, and place (why bother with separate
controllers if each just uses a single index function?). Instead, why not
route everything to a single controller action, and branch out from there
depending on the case. For example:
In default.py:
def index():
if request.args(2):
return place(request.args)
elif request.args(1):
return city(request.args)
else:
return country(request.args(0))
def country(country):
response.view = 'default/country.html'
...
return dict(...)
def city(location):
response.view = 'default/city.html'
country, city = location
...
return dict(...)
def place(location):
response.view = 'default/place.html'
country, city, place = location
...
return dict(...)
Now you can use the parameter-based router as follows:
routers = dict(
BASE=dict(
default_application='yourapp',
default_controller='default',
default_function='index',
functions=['index', 'user', 'other', 'functions', 'in', 'default',
'controller'],
languages=['es', 'fr', 'en', 'it'],
default_language='es'
),
)
