No, they do not belong in a dict. I suspect you have either mixed the parameter and pattern based systems (which the book says cannot be done), or failed to reload routes (which the book says you must do when making changes). If you mix the two systems, it will use the parameter-based system (i.e., if routes.py includes a "routers" dict, it will use that) and ignore any pattern-based items (such as the above). Also note that there are example files for both the parameter-based and pattern-based systems. The code for the above in the book is correct as shown, and matches the sample code in the example file.
