.... and don't forget routes_out, and routes_error ---- for this to work like init or welcome, you have to think about it a bit. While routes.py is _general_ it is not as simple & straightforward as a command line or other kind of config option would be (note: there are already configuration parameters currently held in parameters.py ---- Massimo is just against, I think, a rampant explosion of these - wants to limit them). Thadeus points out this: it's a very common request, an often used thing (yes you _can_ just link or rename your app to applications/ init!!! and why wouldn't you???). I think the simpler solution (simpler than routes.py) is - when deploying, link your app to applicaitons/init --- it is simple, it will behave as you want, and the only "operating system" that I can think of that doesn't have directory level symbolic links is (possibly) Windows. I think there are already 2 ways to do this, one flexible (routes), one simple (link your app to init) - and the only possible complainers would be those deploying on windows, and even for them a simple solution is simply renaming their desired app to init. As Thadeus points out (albeit for different reasons) there is no real reason to argue this. Done!
