I would recommend Anthony's solution but you can do something similar like
this:
1) create a file routes.py with
# ---- begin ----
routes_in = [
('/' , '/appname/default/api_root'),
('/articles' , '/appname/default/api_articles'),
('/article/(?P<id>\d+)' , '/appname/default/article/$id')]
routes_out=[(b,a) for (a,b) in routes_in]
# --- end ---
then in your default.py controller you can do:
def api_root():
return 'Welcome'
def api_articles():
return 'List of ' + URL('api_articles')
def api_article():
articleid = request.args(0,cast=int)
return 'You are reading ' + articleid
you can also do
@request.restful
def api_article():
def GET(articleid):
return 'You are reading ' + articleid
return locals()
