If I'm remembering this correctly, you want something like this (root level is
fine):
routers = dict(
BASE = dict(
default_application = 'shortener',
),
shortener = dict(
default_controller = 'default',
default_function = 'index',
functions = ['index', 'user', 'download', 'call'],
),
)
...where the functions list is a complete list of the visible functions in the
default controller (that is, any function that can appear in a URL).
The router needs that list so it can distinguish function names from args, and
can then omit 'index'. Since in your example tcgata is not in the functions
list, it can be safely treated as args[0].
