Maybe... So per the above, you have functions = dict(default=['index','page'], account=['user','login','profile','logout']) If you also have: default_controller = 'account' default_function = dict(default='index', account='user') ...then it should work as you describe. The downside is that you have to make 'account' the default controller, since you want myapp/jonathan to default to that controller. If you don't want that, then you might want to make a proxy 'user' function in the 'default' controller that redirects or something to the real account/user.
