Shouldn't I use turbogears.url() in controller.py?

[Olli]

Hi, folks. I got a problem with webpath. take this example:

webpath = "test"

# if I use turbogears.url() in template files. works fine
http://test.com/test

# but when I use turbogears.url() in controller file. the webpath
become twice
http://test.com/test/test

# when I don't use turbogears.url() in controller file. set
turbogears.redirect("/") directly
http://test.com/test

So, what is the problem when I use turobgeats.url() in controller file?
OR, did I miss something? I think I'm confused about webpath.

turbogears.redirect() already uses turbogears.url() behind the
scenes. Are you calling turbogears.url() and then passing that result
to redirect?

Maybe turbogears.url() should return a string-like object (instence of
a string subclass), so that you always know if a url is absolute or not.
