It goes in the web2py root directory. There's a pair of example files for the two different router styles that are intended to be copied to routes.py and used as the basis for your own routing. In addition, both routers (pattern and parametric) allow an *additional* routes.py in each application root directory. This is perhaps more useful in the pattern-based router than the parametric router, and in any case the root router is required to make (at a minimum) the determination of which app is being addressed. One more thing to keep in mind: web2py loads the routes.py file(s) at startup, or when explicitly asked to (eg by the admin app). So route changes won't be reflected until the new routes are reloaded, one way or another. This can be a cause for confusion when you're developing your routes, so keep it in mind. > > Thanks, > Daniel > > On Thursday, August 2, 2012 9:47:24 PM UTC+2, Jonathan Lundell wrote: > On 2 Aug 2012, at 12:34 PM, Bruno Rocha <[email protected]> wrote: > > routes.py > > ################################################ > > routers = dict( > > BASE = dict( > > default_application = 'myapp', > > default_controller = 'mycontroller', > > default_function = 'function1', > > controllers = ['default', 'mycontroller', 'etc'], > > functions = ['function1', 'function2', 'function3'], > > applications = ["myapp", "admin"] > > ) > > ) > > > > ############################################### > > > > The hardest part is that you have to list each controller, app, function > > Not really.
