I've been advocating the use of doctests in routes.py to debug problems. Here's
another doctest you can use (I'll send a patch to Massimo that adds an example).
>>> compile_re('.*http://otherdomain.com.* (?P<any>.*)',
'/app/ctr\g<any>')[0].pattern
'^.*http://otherdomain.com.* (?P<any>.*)$'
>>> compile_re('.*http://otherdomain.com.* (?P<any>.*)',
'/app/ctr\g<any>')[1]
'/app/ctr\\\\g<any>'
>>> compile_re('/$c/$f', '/init/$c/$f')[0].pattern
'^.*?:https?://[^:/]+:[a-z]+ /(?P<c>[\\\\w_]+)/(?P<f>[\\\\w_]+)$'
>>> compile_re('/$c/$f', '/init/$c/$f')[1]
'/init/\\\\g<c>/\\\\g<f>'
For the trunk version, the import line needs to change to this:
from gluon.rewrite import select, load, filter_url, filter_out, filter_err,
compile_re
Notice that the backslash escaping gets a little confusing. I can't figure out
how to use raw strings properly here; so it goes.
