Since web.py has no model layer, that functionality would make no
sense. On the other hand, web.py's template system can use methods you
pass it as arguments, or as globals, so you can write a method that
evaluates to an URL with arguments you pass it, and use that in the
template.
def link_to(title):
return '/base/url/%s' % urlize(title)
Another strategy I've used is to attach the pre-generated URL to the
storage object that contains the database record you use in your
template.
records = db.select(...)
new_records = []
for record in records
record.url = '/base/url/%s' % urlize(record.title)
new_records.append(record)
