Here's something I've been using. I've added comments that I hope are clear.
My intent here is to have a default app, controller and function:
/myapp/default/index in this case (note that default/index is also web2py's
default), while allowing other known apps. I want to strip as much of
/myapp/default/index as possible outbound, and of course reattach them inbound.
BTW, it's useful to think of this backwards. That is, write routes_out first,
and then write routes_in to handle everything you do in routes_out, along with
special cases (files in static/, say)..
It's a little subtle.
routes_in = (
# route "domain.com" or "domain.com/" to myapp (instead of init)
#
('/?', '/myapp/'),
# recognize all the apps in the system, with or without trailing arguments
#
('/(?P<app>(admin|examples|welcome|myapp))','/\g<app>/'),
('/(?P<app>(admin|examples|welcome|myapp))/(?P<any>.*)','/\g<app>/\g<any>'),
# route bare requests for favicon or robots.txt to myapp/static
#
('/favicon.ico', '/myapp/static/img/favicon.ico'),
('/robots.txt', '/myapp/static/robots.txt'),
# recognize myapp's controllers
#
('/(?P<ctlr>(sysadmin|appadmin|css|static|init\\b))(?P<any>.*)',
'/myapp/\g<ctlr>\g<any>'),
# treat anything else as a function in /myapp/default
#
('/(?P<any>.*)','/myapp/default/\g<any>'),
)
routes_out = (
# recognize outgoing known apps and don't strip them
#
('/(?P<app>(admin|examples|welcome))/(?P<any>.*)','/\g<app>/\g<any>'),
# handle myapp's default controller with no fcn, etc
#
('/myapp(/default)?/?', '/'),
# handle myapp's default controller and default fcn, etc
#
('/myapp(/default(/index)?)?/?', '/'),
# handle myapp's default controller with other fcns, etc
#
('/myapp/default/(?P<any>.*)','/\g<any>'),
# handle myapp's other controllers
#
('/myapp/(?P<any>.*)','/\g<any>'),
)
