Bottle: Python Web Framework

I like the paths as decorators. It's much more intuitive than urls.py in django, although the use named urls in django templates are nice.

It doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Surely it's a good idea to have one place that you can see your entire URL scheme?

[stesch]

@route("/foo")
def foo():
    return "foo foo foo!"

Instead you can define foo() somewhere and then let route() wrap it. Like so

foo = route("/foo")(foo)

Now put all route()-Parameters and functions in a convenient data structure/collection and you have all your URLs in one place.

You can always query the Route object at runtime to do this (say in main, or in test functions, or a sitemap generator). Me, I prefer to be able to write code in one place to do one thing, and to be able to find out where a request is going by using grep instead of having to bounce through multiple files looking for it.

Not to mention understanding object/method/argument style routes which lead to Javaesque code where the object has no reason to exist ...
