So what I am wondering is, is it possible to use a Django style routing system with Pylons, and also, why does Pylons want me to add 'Controller' at the end of everything? Can I change this behavior? Why doesn't Pylons just let the user decide if they want to call their classes BlaBlaControllerr or not?
It's a convention, you can avoid it and name your controller classes in the module whatever you want by including in the module:
__controller__ = ProfileEditor etc.This is a convention, and one that you don't have to retain, its customizeable by subclassing PylonsApp (initialized in your projects config/middleware.py), and changing how it looks up the controller reference. This isn't as complex as you might believe, and the code contains a lot of doc messages to make it easier:
http://pylonshq.com/docs/en/0.9.7/modules/wsgiapp/#pylons.wsgiapp.PylonsApp.find_controllerThere's some message on the mail list in the past which also cover this process.
