Note, the signature of the URL() function is URL(a, c, f, r, args, vars,
...). So, in your first example, it interprets "addressbook" as the
application and request.args(0) as the function, and in your second
example, it interprets request.args(0) as the request object (which is why
you get the error about a str object not having an "application"
attribute). So, in general, it is best to specify "args" and "vars" as
keyword arguments -- if you want to specify them as positional arguments,
you have to fill in all four preceding positional arguments as well.
Also, note that regarding the first three arguments, URL() is smart -- if
you only specify two positional arguments, it assumes they are c and f
rather than a and c, and if you only specify one positional argument, it
assumes it is f rather than either a or c (if a and or c are missing, they
get filled in with the current application and controller).
