sub controllers in Pylons

[writes_on]

Hi all,

I'd like to create a sub-directory under controllers to help segregate
controllers in my application, and I see that paster can do this by issuing
this command:

paster controller {directory_name}/{controller_name}

where {directory_name} is the name of the sub-directory and
{controller_name} is the name of the new controller. I'm confused how to
construct a url to use this controller and place it in the routes.py file.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks!
Doug

``map.connect(..., controller="directory_name/controller_name")``

If you want 'controller' to be a path variable, you'd have to write a
requirement regex that matches "identifier/identifier" with exactly
one slash and an identifier on both sides.

Don't forget .__init__.py in the subpackage.

[keybi]

map.connect('/directory/controller/index/{some_id}',
controller='directory/controller', action='index')

Then you create urls like :

url(controller='directory/controller/', action='index',
some_id=1)
