This is a very interesting topic that I'll eventually try to address, no doubt. Having web2py behind apache was a daunting task to say the least, since I am now running more than one web2py app under apache in the same web2py instance, I want to make sure all configuration settings are correct.
For instance, the "ideal" post for a topic would be, as you point out http://www.pyforum.org/forum-name/post-title, the problem is that, even though apache can rewrite the urls, web2py still needs to know the controllers and such to map in/out the right URLs, basically you need to play a delicate "dance" between your vhosts.conf file and routes.py. The configuration that I have makes me run both my sites (julioflores.com and pyforum.org) with a simple apache configuration and absolutely no routes.py at all, yes, I lost ability to "admin" web2py but I am not too concern in my "production" environment as long as my "dev" is tuned in correctly, ideally, however, having the URLS mapped as you mentioned would be awesome.
