Need help with URL handling syntax

[Dexter]

Can any one plz tell me the difference between the two links

urls = (
    'appx/(.+)',                           'foo1',
    'appy/(.*)',                            'foo2'
)

class foo1:
    def GET(self,name):
        #Some code
        return

As much as I can dig from the documentation ... each ( ) can handle a variable
for eg appx/Bob will populate name with with Bob

how do (.+) and (.*) differ in behaviour

Cheers

These are standard regular expressions ( http://docs.python.org/library/re.html ) where . means "any one character", + means "one or more", and * means "zero or more" - so the first will match any URL that has one or more characters after the / while the second will additionally match the URL "appy/" with nothing after the slash.  In that case, the empty string "" will be passed to foo1.GET()
