I didn't now about this one, thanks Jonathan.
In fact the router mechanism is still a little bit obscure to me.
I notice now that file_match is documented in router.example.py.
So I copy router.example.py to routes.py and defined the routers dict like this:
routers = dict(
# base router
BASE = dict(
default_application = 'welcome',
file_match = r'(.*)$', # legal file (path) name
),
)
and it worked woth chinese chars in a filename.
Is this the correct place to use file_match?
