Your routes.py maps literally *any *URL (including static URLs) to just the
single /myapp/default/index URL. When using $anything in the first item of
the tuple, you should also append it to the second so whatever arbitrary
part of the original URL was matched gets retained. In any case, you
probably don't want to match /$anything to a specific controller and
function (at least not as the first rule, as that will match all incoming
URLs).
If you just want to eliminate the application name for URLs and specify a
default controller and function, the parameter-based rewrite system is a
better option.
