As David mentioned, you can rename your app 'init' and get some of this to happen. It won't delete all mention of the app name, though--only when it can also delete the controller and function name. If you don't want to change your app name, you can create (in web2py's base directory) a file named routes.py with nothing in it but this line: default_application = 'myapp' But to get the app name deleted on a more systematic basis, you'll need to write a more elaborate routes.py. There's a new version coming along, in beta in the trunk right now, that should be available for more general use pretty soon, so if you're not in a hurry, just go with one of the above solutions for now, and when the new rewrite logic is ready for prime time you can add a couple more lines in routes.py and be done with it. If you're in more of a hurry, use the existing rewrite logic; it's not going away, but it's a little trickier to set up.
