An easy way is to put the item number in a query string: website.com/items?127
Another way would be to use the function default/items instead of items/index.
If you really, really want items to be a controller and have the URL syntax
you're looking for, use something like this:
routers = dict(
yourapp = dict(
functions = { 'items' : ['index', ... ] }
)
)
The idea is that you need to inform the router of the function names in the
items controller.
Suggestion: website.com/item/127 looks a little more natural than items/127, at
least to me. Easiest to do by putting your code in default/item and
default/items.
